C A - 



to Linnxtis, and by him defined to be the out- 

 er bark of the plant prefent in the fruftifica- 

 tion. In general, it is that green cup which 

 inclofes and fupports the bottom of the Corol- 

 la, and is otherwife called Perianthiumy Involu- 

 crum, Ame-nium, Spatha, Gliana^ Calyptra, or Vol- 

 va, as it happens to be differently circumftan- 

 ced. In affimulating the vegetable with the 

 animal kingdom, Linnieus terms the C2\yx.Jlorum 

 thalannn. It is generally lingle, in fomc plants 

 double and in others entirely wanting. It is 

 commonly divided into the fame number of 

 fegments with ihe Corolla. The Calyx commonly 

 withers when the fruit is ripe, if not before ; 

 which circumftance infallibly difiringuillies the 

 Calyx from Bra^ea, in dubious cafes. It is ge- 

 nerally lefs, in point of height, but more fub- 

 ftantial, than the Corolla.
