Flower of Dianthus, sp. ? The calyx is removed ; the petals are reflected to show the adventitious 



flower-buds, &c., occupying the situation of the stamens. 

 Opuntia Salmiana, showing the accessory buds arising from the tops of the fruits. 

 Flowers of Tetragonia expansa, showing the position and attachment of the secondary flowers.

b. Flower with two bracts on the pedicel. 



Flower of Daucus Carota. Petals and stamens removed. Calyx without prickles. Carpels pro- 

 longed and developed in the form of leaves ; between the two rises a flower-bearing axis, one 

 branch of which alone is represented.

 rangement of the ribs and the prolonged axis, the upper part of which has been removed.
