the different floral organs, let the following order of succession as 
observed in their sequence of development be noted, viz.: corolla, 
calyx, andrecium and gynecium, although this order of parts does 
not correspond to Goebel’s generalizations on Composite. There may 
be evidences showing a disturbance in the acropetal order of develop- 
ment of whorls, but of necessity the calyx is developed first, and its 
late appearance, without doubt, is due to the late setting free of its 
upper portion. 
Simultaneously with the development of the ovule appear small, 
Giay glands above the ovary at the base of the style; these form a 
and are supposed to represent an inner row of imperfectly formed 
stamens.—Grorce W. Martin (in ‘The Development of Flower and
