Comparative Length of Operculum and Calyx-tube. 



" The second character generally made use of in books, the comparative length of the operculum 

 and calyx-tube, is too indefinite for practical use." (B. Fl. iii, 186.) 



" The opercula of the flowers sometimes show good characteristics, distinctive of the species or 

 the group of species by their shape, and especially by their length, compared to that of the calyx-tube. 

 In a large number of species they are sensibly of the same length as the latter ; in others they are much 

 longer or much shorter. The operculum is from two to four or five times longer than in —
