213. MonopetalOUS corolla, i>., a corolla of oijo \)'wco. It is so called, whether it 

 ruakosactipor tu))0 with the border cut iro, as in Morning-djory (Fig. 175), or with 

 thuboi'<lerlol)ed,that is, the tips ot* the ju'tals separate, as in Strunioniuin (Fig. 177), 

 or oven if the petals are united only at the hottoni, as in the Potato- 

 Itlossoui (Fig. 182). The same may he said of a calyx when the 

 sepals are united into a cup, oidy this is called Monoxi'jHilouii. A mo- 

 nopetalous corolla (and so of a calyx) is generally distiMgMishal)le into 

 two parts, namely, its Tuhc or nari'ow part helow, and its /ionlrr or 

 Li mil, the' spreading part above. It is )'i't/n/(ir when all sides and lobes 

 of it are alike, as in Fig. 175, 177, S:c. It is irn>(julaf when tlu* sides 

 oi- parts are dilFerent or unequal in si/e or sliapt^, as in Sage, Dead- 

 Nettle (Fig. 181), the common Honeysuckle, iVc. It is 



Tnhu/di', when long and narrow without a cons])icuous border, as 

 in Fig. 178, or 



Truiiip''f-x/iniiftl ; tubular, gradually ridarging uj)wards, as in Trumpet-Creeper 

 and Trumpet- Honeysuckle (Fig. 178). 



Fun u<'l -till ajx'd or Fiuinel-fonn (like a 

 funnel or tuniud); when the tui)e opens 

 gradually into a spreading border, as in 

 Morning-(Tlory (Fig. 175) and Stramonium 

 <Fig. 177). 



Bill-sJiaped or Cdnipaiiiilafr .• when the 

 tube is wide for its length and the border 

 a little spreading, like a bell, as in Hare- 

 bell (Fig. 179). 



Snli'er-ti//ap'>d ,■ wlien a slender tuhe 

 spreads suddenly into a Hat border, as in I'ldox (Fig. iSo). 



WliL'el-f<haped ov llotatt' ; same as sahershaped, with the tube very short or 



none, as in tlu' corolla of the Potato (Fig. 1S2) 

 and the Nightshade (Fig. 183). 



Lai >! ale or T/rD-lippfil : when the ])order (livide.s 



into two parts, or Zips, an upper and a lower 



(sometimes likened to tliose of an animal with 



gaping moutli), as in Sage, Dead-Nettie (Fig. 181), 



This is one of the irregular forms of monopetalous corolla, and 



i« 



and the like, 

 the commonest.
