as in crown-imperial, and all the family, of 
fritillaria, though in none fo obvious as in 
the fpecies imperialism in ranunculus, and 
dog tooth (erythronium) : the nectary in 
lily (Hlium) is that raifed line which runs 
down the petal lengthways. Third, the nec- 
taries which crown the corol, as in paffion- 
flower ^paffii%ra), narciflus (ly'chnis). Fourth? 
on the calyx, as in nafturtion (tropae'olum), 
being a fpur attached to the calyx. Fifth, on 
the ftamens, which in bay (laurus nobilis) 
are three glands ending in ■ two briftles, fur- 
rounding the germe. Sixth, on the germe, as 
in fome fpecies of iris, and in hyacinth, and 
the plants of the clafs four-powers, Tetra- 
dynamia. Seventh, on the receptacle in fern- 
pervivum, and mercury (mercurialis). Eighth, 
all thofe nectaries which are not apart from the 
corol, but the Angular conftruction of 'which 
does not admit of their being placed among 
any of the kinds I have enumerated, as in 
nettle (urtica), the nectary is fituated in the 
centre of the ftamen-bearing flower, very 
fmall, in the form of a cup. In fact, the 
term nectary is applied by Linneus to every 
part of fructification, which, from it's Angu- 
larity, cannot be ranked among the feven
