In some of the irregular hypogynous garaopetalous flowers, the corolla 

 is five-lobed and the limb is divided into two portions, which are placed 

 superiorly and inferiorly, somewhat resembling the lips and open mouth

 others, petals are united on one side to form a flattened strap, and such 

 flowers are said to be Ligulate (Fig. 58).

In some of the apetalous flowers, the calyx is present as 

 in the Jinchoge and Nawashirogumi (Fig. 94) ; while in

 ESSENTIAL ORGANS. 



In some cases, the androecium and the gynoecium may be 

 both present, as in the Mume and Sakura (Fig. 55) ; in some 

 cases, either the androecium or the gynoecium may be ab- 

 sent, that is, only one of the essential organs may be present, 

 as in the Shidareyanagi (Fig. 95 and 96) and Akamatsu; 

 .and in other cases, the essential organs may be altogether
