FRUCTIFICATION, OR FLOWER AND FRUIT. 29 



69. Flos aggregatus, an Aggregate Flower, consists 

 of several Flowers, or Florets (68),, with distinct 

 Anthers, collected into one Common Calyx, as in 

 Scabiosa, and all Amentaceous Flowers (53 : 3), as 

 also most Grasses, and according to Linnaeus, um- 

 bellate and even cymose flowers (48), which last 

 we can scarcely admit, they being rather modes of 

 Inflorescence. 



70. Compound Flowers (68), as well as Aggregate 

 ones (69), are either flosculosi, flosculous, or radiati, 

 radiant, as already explained under Umbella (48 : 7). 



71. Cryptogamic Plants, are those whose Flowers 

 are either totally unknown, like Ferns (77) ; or not 

 constructed according to the analogy of Plants in 

 general, as above described, like Mosses (77) : so 

 that they cannot be referred to Classes and Orders 

 by their Stamens and Pistils, as hereafter to be ex- 

 plained. Phaenogamic Plants, on the contrary, have 

 evident Flowers, constructed according to the above- 

 described principles.
