pores, (sguame nectarifere, pori nectariferi). Of. 
glands, there are the following varieties : 
1. Sitting, (sessilis), hich is not elevated on & 
foot-stalk, as in Sinapis, Brassica, &c. fig. 148. 
2, Petiolated, (petiolata), which is furnished with 
a foot-stalk. 
8. Spherical, (e/obosa). 
4, Compressed, (compressa), which is flat on both 
sides. 
5. Flat, (plana), that is scarcely convex, as in
