they are to be seen distinctly.

The pistillum of Mosses is furnished with a ger- 
men, stylus, and stigma, like other plants. But in 
this tribe there are several pistilla, some only of 
which form perfect fruit, the others are barren. 
The equisetum has no style, neither have the other 
Filices and Fungi. In the Filices, the pistillum has

the Fungi, only in this it is drawn together like a 
small net. [In all these plants the parts can be ob- 
served only by means of a high magnifier. 
§ 96. 
With regard to the flower in general, it is to be 
remarked, that such flowers as have neither calyx 
nor corolla are called naked, (mudi); when the co-

(flos ‘apetalus), and when there is no calyx, a corol- 
laceous or aphyllous flower, (los corallaceus s. aphyl- 
lus). Flowers which have stamina and pistilla are 
called hermaphrodite, (flores hermaphroditi); when 
the pistilla are wanting, they are called male flowers, 
(flores masculi); and when there are no stamina, fe- 
male flowers, (flores feminci). In the description of 
the germen, (§ 92), we did not speak of its situation. 
In flowers it is situated either under the calyx, and the 
flower is then said to be above, (flos superus s. epi- 
carpius), or the germen is then said to be below, 
(germen:
