16 TRUNKS. 



The Scape is termed 



1. SPIRAL, (spiralisS) Ex. Valisneria spiralis. 



2. SCALY, (squamosus*') Ex. Tussilago farfara. 



Observation. 1. Several of the terms defined under the stems, 

 (caw/;*, );ire occasionally applied also to the Scape as well as to the 

 Culm. 



2. Plants furnished with a Scape come under the head of STEM- 

 LK69 plants, (acaules*} Thus the Daffodil, Dandelion., and many of 

 the Violets are stemless plants. 



3. Linnaeus has observed, that " a Scape (scafnis) is on!y a spe- 

 cies of pedunculus." Should the term scapits be abandoned, Pe- 

 duncuhts radiealis, a RADICAL PEDUNCLE, should be substituted.

 cies of trunk bearing the flower and fruit, but not the
