 and Prantl when the perianth is 

 uniform ; homoiom'erous (/-cepo?, a

 the gonidia and hyphae are dis- 

 tributed in about equal propor- 

 tions ; Wallroth employed the word 

 homoeom'eres from 6/ioio/tep7js. 

 homologous (djuos, one and the same, 

 Xo7<>s, discourse), of one type,

 character of their reproductive 

 organs, cf. ANTITHETIC ; Hom'o-

 of the disk florets from tubular 

 into ligulate florets ; Hom'onym, 

 Homon'Yinon(&'o/ia, aname),botani- 

 cally, the same specific name in 

 another genus of the same plant,
