 with the stem, used of those leaves 

 which have no articulation with the

 live on stems ; caulif erous (fero, I 

 bear), bearing a stalk; caul'iform 

 (forma, shape), having the shape of 

 a stalk; CauTiflower ( + Flower),

 accompanied by defective flowers ; 

 caulig'enous (yet>os, race), arising 

 from a stem ; caulig' erous (gero, I 

 bear), borne on a stem ; Caulid'ium, 

 term proposed by Bower to express 

 the leaf in the oophore generation ; 

 its analogue in the sporophore 

 generation is CAULOME; caul'inar, 

 cauTinary, canlina'rw, -rius ; = 

 CAULINE; cauTine, caidi'nus, be- 



longing to the stem or arising from 

 it, <" Bun'dles, vascular bundles 

 growing acropetally with the stem, 

 having no direct communication 

 with the bundles which pass into 

 the leaves. 



Cau'lis (Lat.), a stem ; the ascending 

 axis, restricted to the above-ground 

 portion in its normal state ; ^ de- 

 liquesc'ens,t a stem which branches 

 irregularly ; ~ excurr'ens, a stem

 ing fruit repeatedly, as trees and 

 shrubs; CauTode (eZSos, resem- 

 blance), a portion of a Thallophyte 

 which simulates a stem ; Caulo'ma 

 (1) the stem of a palm ; (2) the stem- 

 like portion of such Algae as Fuci ; 

 CauTome the stem as an abstract 

 entity, the leaf-developing axis ; 

 Bower suggests its restriction to 

 the sporophore generation only ; 

 CauTonier Gue/>os,a part), a secondary 

 axis in a sympodium ; Caulotax'is 

 (rdis, arrangement), the order of 

 branches upon a stem. 



caustlcus (Lat. burning), biting in

 ing in caves ; Cavern'uli, the pores 

 of such Fungi as Polyporua. 



Cav'itus J (cavus, hollow), and Cavus 

 are given by Lindley as respec- 

 tively, the perithecium and peri- 

 dium of some Fungi ; also Cav'us 

 sup'erus, defined by him as the 

 hymenium of certain Fungi. 



Cecidi'um (K-rjids, a gall), the galls pro- 

 duced by Fungi or insects, the con- 

 sequence of infection being an 

 abnormal growth. 



Cell, Cell'ula(La.t. a small apartment),

 plasm, strictly with a single nuc- 

 leus, contained in a chamber of
