of one piece, as may be feen in the mow- drop, 
galanthus nivalis, and daffodil, narciffus, 
pfeudo- narciffus, and in moil plants which 
have this kind of calyx ; fometimt?s of two, as 
in the Japan lily, amarv His formosiffima ; and 
fometimes of many. Calyptre is the term for 
the calyx of moTes. Calyptre is defined by 
Linneus to be the cowled calyx of mofs, cover- 
ing the anther ; which definition ftrongly ex- 
preffes this fpecies of calyx; it may, however, 
be neceffary to give fome more familiar idea : 
the calyptre refembles a very fmall extin- 
guiilier of a candle, ' which covers the flow 7 er 
of mofs, and protects it's drift, or feed, from 
injury: in Mr. Curiis's London Flora there 
are a variety of beautiful fpecimens of this 
kind of calyx ; and, in the months of Novem- 
ber and December, it may be found growing 
on every bank. The 7th and last fpecies of 
calyx is the Valve, the term ufed by Linneus 
for the calyx of Fungufes, a tribe of plants 
which requires much elucidation, and, joined 
to fome other families of equally obfcure ha- 
bits, form a clafs confefledly little underftood.
