THE COEOLLA.

274 ; Biigloss, fig. 265) ; — campanulate (c. campanulata), when bell-sliaped {Campanula, 

 fig. 276) ; — urceolate (c. v/rceolata), when the tube is swollen in the middle, and the 

 nioutk contracted, like a small pitcher [Heath, fig. 276) ; 



— rotate (c. rotata), when the tube is suppressed, and the segments horizontal, 

 and divergent like the spokes of a wheel (Pimpernel, fig. 277 ; Borage, fig. 267) ; — 

 stellate (c. stellata), when rotate, with the segments very acute {Galium). 



The irregular monopetalous corolla is hilabiate (c. lahiata, hilabiata), when the 

 limb is cut into two principal superimposed divisions {lips), and the throat is open ; 

 the upper lip consisting of two petals, and the lower of three. The upper lip may 

 be entire, by the confluence of the two petals {Lamium, figs. 278, 279 ; Galeobdolon, 

 fig. 280) ; or slightly split {Sage, Rosemary, fig. 281) ; or so deeply divided {Ger- 

 mander, figs. 282, 283) that the two petals stand widely apart, and are confluent 

 with the lower lip rather than with one another. In this case the corolla appears 

 to consist of one five-lobed lower lip. Lastly, the upper lip is sometimes wholly 

 suppressed, or distinguishable from the tube only by a notch {Bugle, fig. 284). The 

 luid-lobe of the lower lip may be entire {Rosemary, fig. 281) ; — iifid {Lamium, fig. 

 279; Bugle, fig. 284) ;—trifid {Galeobdolon, fig. 280). 



The personate corolla (c. personata) is a form of the labiate, with the throat 

 closed by a projection of the lower lip, called the palate 

 {palatum) ; in many personate corollas the tube is tumid at the

base in the direction of the lower lip, and called gibbous (c. gibbosa, Snapdragon, 

 fig. 285), or even spurred (c. calca/rata, Lina/ria, fig. 286). 



Two-lipped corollas are often described as ringent (c. ringens), but this term 

 being equally applied to both the labiate and personate corollas, it is superfluous.
