34 AN INTRODUCTION 
frat, asin Ornithogalum ; Cuneiform, Wedge- 
feaped, as in Thalictrum, Spiral, Skrew- 
fhaped, asin Hirtella ; Subulate, Awl-fhap- 
ed, as in Tulipa; Emarginate, nicked or 
notched, as in Porrum; Reflex, bent back, as 
in Ghriofa; or Hirfute, hairy, as in Tra- 
defcantia and. Anthericum. 
The PROPORTION of the Filaments is 
either unequal, asin Daphne, Lychnis, and 
Saxifraga; irregular, asin Lonicera, and the 
Clafs Didynamia*: very long, as in Tri- 
choftema, Plantago,and Hirtella ; or very fhort 
as in Triglochin. 
The SITUATION of the filaments, is 
either oppofite tothe Leaves, or Segments of 
the Calyx, as in Uriica ; or alternate with 
them, as in E/eagnus. In Monopetalous Flow- 
ers they are inferted into the Corolla, but — 
{carce ever in Polyfetalous: In the Clafs 
Icofandria + they are always inferted in the 
Calyx, as they are alfo in Epilobium, Oeno- 
thera, ‘fuffiea, Ludwigia, Oldenlandia, I/- 
narda, Ammania, Peplis, Lythrum, Glaux, 
and Rhexia; and infome Apetalous t Flows 
ers, as in Eleagnus; but it. is more com- 
mon for them to be inferted into the Recep- 
tacle, like the Calyx and Corolla.
