98. Regular {regularis) ; in which all the parts are symmetrical : 
a rotate corolla is regular ; the flower of a cherry is regular. 
99. Irregular (irregularis) ; in which symmetry is destroyed by 
some inequality of parts ; a labiate corolla, the flower of the 
liorse-chesnut, and the violet, are irregular.

the ovarium has many cells instead of two, is unusual or 
abnormal.

liar to the family or genus of a given plant is in nowise 
departed from.
