Labiate : when there is an apparently two-lipped division of 
the parts. In this form of corolla usually two petals grow to- 
gether and make the upper lip ; the remaining three petals join 
together and form the lower lip. These divisions appear mostly 
as lobes, and it is not always noticed that the flowers are of five 
lobes instead of two. (Fic. 19.)

When the petals are not grown together but are wholly sepa- 
rate, the corolla is said to be polypetalous. Different forms 
are: 
Rosaceous: when the petals are distinct and without claws, 
as in the rose. 
Cruciferous: when there are four clawed petals in the form 
of across. (FIG. 20.) 
Papilionaceous, or butterfly-shaped. (Fic. 21.) Such 
flowers are usually described in three parts: the banner, or 
standard, which is the large upper petal; the wings, or the 
two side petals,and the two anterior petals that, commonly 
united in a shape something like the prow of a boat and enclos- 
ing the reproducing organs, are called the keel. (Fic. 22.)
