TO BOTANY. 23 
The MOST NATURALSTRUCTURE 
of the Parts, in refpe& to NUMBER, is, 
To have the Calyx divided into as many 
Segments as the Corolla; The Filaments 
equal in Number to the Segments of the 
Corolla and Calyx; A fingle Anthera on each 
Filament; The Divifions of the Piftillum 
equal in Number to the Cells of the Peri- 
carpium, or the Receptacles of the Seeds; 
the moft common Number, five; (whence 
the Extent of the Claffes Pentandria * and 
Syngenefia t,) and the Corolla and Calyx 
alfo guinguifid, cut into five Segments. 
In refpe& to FIGURE, To have the 
Calyx lefs {preading than the Corolla; The 
Corolla widening gradually ; The Stamina 
and Piftillum upright and tapering; The 
Pericarpium big with Seeds, {welling and 
extending after the reft of the Parts (the 
Calyx excepted) are fallen off. 
In refpe& to PROPORTION, To have 
the Calyx lefs than the Corolla ; The Piftil- 
jum of equal Length with the Stamina in 
an upright Flower, but longer in an inverted 
one; if the Flower flope downward, the 
Stamina and Piftillum inclining towards the 
under Side ; but if it flope upwards, placed 
clofe under the upper Side. !
