 wer- 



is the 

 nsects 



to its whereabouts that its pollen may be carried through their 

 agency. The Petals are the leaves of the corolla when it is 

 divided to its base. It is then said to be Polypetalous. The 

 corolla is Gamopetalous when the petals are wholly or partly 

 grown together. 



The Calyx and Corolla are spoken of as parted when they 

 are divided nearly to the base. When they are divided about 

 to their middle, they are said to be cleft, or lobed. They are 

 toothed when the lobes are very small.

When the parts of the Calyx and Corolla are united, some 

 of the terms used to express their different forms are : — 



Salver-Shaped : when the border is flat and spreads out at 

 right angles from the top of the tube, (Fig. 41.) 



Wheel-Shaped : when the border spreads out at once from 

 a very short tube and suggests the diverging spokes of a wheel. 

 (Fig. 42.) 



Campanulate, or Bell-Shaped: when the tube expands 

 towards the summit and has no border, or only a very short 

 one. (Fig. 43,) 



Funnel-Form : when the tube is narrow below and grad- 

 ually spreads to a wide border. (Fig. 44.) 



Tubular: when the tube is prolonged and does not widen 

 much towards the summit, (Fig. 45.) 



Labiate : when there is an apparently two-lipped division 

 of the parts. In this form of corolla usually two petals grow
