in the Poppy ; Petaloid in the Canna. The 5 united petaloid stigmas 

 of the Sarracenia (Fig. 114) imitate a parasol. 



275. The Divisions 

 and Appendages of the 

 Stigma are as varied 

 as those of the flower 

 and leaf; they are de- 

 scribed in the same 

 terms. In the Dock 

 the stigmas are laoini- 

 ate (Fig. 189, A) ; in 

 the Grasses plumose 

 (Fig. 52, B); peni- 

 eillate (L. penicillus, 

 a painter's brush), 

 with diverging hairs, 

 as in the Burnet and 

 Pellitory. 



276. The Style, in its position on the ovary, is Apical [Terminal) 

 when it arises from the apex, as in the Myrtle (Fig. 178) ; Lateral 

 when it rises from the side, as in the Strawberry (Fig. 175, A) ; Basal, 

 Basilar, when from the base, as in the Sage and Comfrey (Fig. 5, 2)- 

 We are thus brought to 



277. The Oynohase (woman's base), a cen- 

 tral column, which is a growth formed by con- 

 fluent basilar styles and their ovaries, which 

 separate from it at maturity. Here the cai'- 

 pels, which are 1- or 

 2-seeded, are called 

 Cocci (L. coc c'u s, 

 berry) ; this column 

 is called also a Col- 

 utnella. In the 

 Geranium (Fig. 

 174, B) the cocci, 

 at ripening, /racfaj-e 

 or separate from one 

 another, and hang 

 suspended by their 

 long, persistent 

 styles . from the top 

 of the column ; the 

 fruit is called a 

 Regma (L. frac- 

 ture). In the Mal- 

 low (Fig. 174, C) 

 the cocci do not 

 wholly separate 

 from the column. 



278. The Torus 

 has many forms. 

 In the Kose it is 



urceolate (Fig. 175, B), lining the calyx-tube.
