TERMINOLOGY. SY 
the reception of honey, there are the following kinds ; 
wiz. Vhe hood, (cucullus); the cylinder, (cylindrus) ; 
the pit, (fovea); the fold, (plica); the spur, (cal- 
car ). ; 
The Hoop, (cucullus), 1s a hollow body like a bag 
or hood, that is quite separated from all the other 
parts of the flower, and has commonly a short foot- 
stalk, as in monkshood, Aconitum, fig. 135, 196. 
In some flowers there are such hood-like bodies, 
which contain no honey, asin Asclepias Vinectoxicum, 
fig. 89. : 
The cylinder, (cylindrus), is a part of the flower 
that has perfectly the shape of a cylinder, and there- 
fore among most botanists goes by the name. It is 
constantly attached to the flower, as in African 
cranes-bill, Pelargonium, &c. 
The pit, (fovea), is a cavity for the reception of 
honey, situated either in the calyx, the corolla, or 
in some other part of the flower, as in Hyptis, &c. 
The roLp, (plica), is an oblong groove, formed 
by the bending inwards of the corolla, which some- 
times happens, 
The spur, (calcar), is a horn-shaped production 
of the corolla in which honey is found. Sometimes 
in the pointed part of the spur there is a gland 
which contains honey, but sometimes it is secreted 
in another part, and thence flows into the spur, as 
in the March violet, Viola odorata ; Indian cress, 
Tropzolum majus, fig. 49, 112, 113.
