 beside), used by Grew, and since 

 his time for the tissue composed of 

 cells more or less isodiametric,

 pari'etal, parieta'lis, borne on or 

 belonging to a wall ; <- U'tricle, used

 male and female organs in the 

 same inflorescence, the male naked 

 in the axils of the lower bracts ; 

 paroi'cous is a synonym ; Paror- 

 thot'ropism (6p0os, right, T/WTTT;, a 

 turning), Archangeli's term when 

 leaves place themselves with the 

 lamina vertical, but not necessarily 

 meridional.

 cleft, but not quite to the base. 



Parthenogam'ete (irapetvos, virgin + 

 GAMETE), a gamete which develops 

 without pairing (Hartog) ; Partho- 

 gen'esis (ytvecris, origin), a form of

 velops into the normal product of 

 fertilisation without a preceding 

 sexual act; Parthenog'eny (yevos, 

 race, offspring), has the same mean- 

 ing; Parthenogonid'ia (yorts, off- 

 spring), reproductive cells in a 

 colony of Volvox Gldbator, Lmn.,

par'tial, partia'lis (Lat.), in botany 

 usually means secondary, as <~ In-
