Of the different Structures of the PisTILLUM. 
HE Piftillum confifts of three Parts, 
Germen, Stylus, and Stigma. Of thefe 
the Germen being no other than the Rudi- 
ment of the Pericarpium, its Variations will 
be confidered under that Head in the next 
Chapter: nor need we fpeak here of the 
Number of the Styles, as that will be treated 
of inthe Explanation of the fexual Syftem* ; 
but as the Style is often divided, we muft 
confider its Laciniz. 
STYLE—The Style, in refpe&t to its 
LACINIA, is either Bifid, as in Perficaria 
and Cornutia; Trifid, asin Clethra and Fran- 
henia ; Quadrifid, as in Rhamnus ; Quinquefid, 
asin Geranium; or Dichotomous, halved, and 
each Lacinia halved again, as in Cordia. . 
The FIGURE of the Style is either Cy- 
lindric, like a rolling Stone, asin Monotropa ; 
Angulate, cornered, as in Canna; Subulate, 
Awl-/haped, as in Geranium ; Capillary, like 
* See Part II. Chap. 3. in which the Titles of the 
Orders, which are governed chiefly by the Number of 
Styles, are explained.
