Class II. Of Collective Terms. 
It has been already explained, that collective terms are 
those which apply to plants, or their parts, considered in 
masses; by which is meant that they cannot be applied to any 
one single part or thing, without a reference to a larger num- 
ber being either expressed or understood. Thus, when leaves 
are said to be opposite, that term is used with respect to 
several, and not to one ; and when a panicle is said to be lax, 
or loose, it means that the flowers of a panicle are loosely 
arranged ; and so on. 
1 . Of Arrangement. 
1. Opposite (oppositus) ; placed on opposite sides of some other 
body or thing on the same plane. Thus, when leaves are 
opposite, they are on opposite sides of the stem ; when petals 
are opposite, they are on opposite sides of the ovary ; and 
so on.
