236 SEED AND FRUIT 



Mono-, bi-, tri-gyuous are vague terms occasionally used as synonyms 

 of terms explained in the preceding sentence. 



XXXVII. Style. — Terminal = attached to the top of the ovary. 

 Lateral = ventral = attached to the side of the ovary. Basilar = attached 

 to the base of the ovary. Gynobasic = when the ovary has several distinct 

 lobes but only one single style, which is attached to the base of the 

 lobes at their central point of junction [e.g. LabiatEe). 



XXXVIII. Stigma. — Capitate = ending in a rounded head. 



XXXIX. Ovary. — Simple = consisting of one carpel. Compound = 

 syncarpous. Looulus = cell = chamber. Uni-, bi-, tri-, quadri-, and 

 pluri- or multi-looular = having one, two, three, four, and many chambers 

 respectively. Dissepiment = septum =-- partition. 



XL. Ovule. — Nucleus = nucellus. Foramen =micropyle. Clialaza=the 

 region at which the integuments are attached to the base of the nucellus. 

 Hilum=the region of attachment of the ovule to the funicle. Rapbe, 

 Rbaphe = the ridge which denotes the course of the funicle up the side of an 

 inverted ovule ; it connects the hilum and chalaza : the raphe is ventral 

 when it is on that side of the ovule which faces the placenta, arid con- 

 sequently is between the placenta and micropyle ; it is dorsal when it is on 

 the side away from the placenta, so that the micropyle is situated between 

 the placenta and the raphe ; finally the raphe is lateral when it lies between 

 the ventral and dorsal positions. Prlmine (testa) = the outer integument. 

 Secundine (tegmen) = the inner integument. Ampliitropous= half- inverted 

 — that is, between anatropous and orthotropous. Erect = standing upright 

 from the floor of the ovary-chamber. Ascending = directing obliquely 

 upwards from an axial or parietal placenta. Horizontal = directed 

 horizontally from an axial or a parietal placenta. Pendulous = directed 

 obliquely downwards from an axial or a parietal placenta. Suspended = 

 hanging vertically downwards from the roof of the ovary-chamber. 



POLLINATION AND FERTILISATION. 



XLI. Fecundation = fertilisation. Fertilisation = a term used in many 

 books to denote pollination. Autogamy=self-pollination. Allogamy= 

 cross-pollination. 6eltonegamy= pollination by pollen from another 

 flower on the same individual plant. EntomopbilouB = insect-pollinated. 

 Anemopbilous = wind - pollinated. Dichogamy = the ripening of the 

 stamens and carpels of one flower at different times. 



SEED. 



XLII. Spermoderm= testa = the coat of a seed ; or if the coat be double 

 it is the outer layer, and the inner layer is the tegmen or endopleura. 

 Albumen == the endosperm or perisperm, or both together, in a seed. 

 Albuminous = possessing albumen. Exalbuminous = devoid of albumen. 

 Aril = a special accessory envelope outside the testa and partially encasing 

 a seed. Stropbiole and caruncula = peculiar single outgrowths on seeds 

 (e.g. Violet). 



FRUIT. 



XLIII. Aggregate fruit = compound fruit. Multiple or collective fruit = 

 infructescence. Fseudocarp or false fTuit ; in some books a fruit is defined
