Class II. Of Collective Terms. 
It has been already explained, that collective terms are 
those which apply to plants, or their parts, considered in 
masses ; by which is meant that they cannot be applied to any 
one single part or thing, without a reference to a larger num- 
ber being either expressed or understood. Thus, when leaves 
are said to be opposite, that term is used with respect to 
several, and not to one; and when a panicle is said to be lax 
or loose, it means that the flowers of a panicle are loosely 
arranged ; and so on.
