BOOK III. 
21. Squarrose (59'MC!r/’05W5) ; when the parts spread out at right 
angles, or thereabouts, from a common axis ; as the leaves of 
some Mosses, the involucra of some Compositae, &c. 
22. Fasciated (fasciatus); when several contiguous parts grow 
unnaturally together into one ; as the stems of some plants, 
the fruits of others, &c. 
23. Scaly (squamosus) ; covered with small scales, like leaves. 
24. Starved (depauperatus) ; when some part is less perfectly 
developed than is usual with plants of the same family. Thus, 
when the lower scales of a head of a Cyperaceous plant pro- 
duce no flowers, such scales are said to be starved. 
25. Distant (distans, remotus, rarus) ; in contradiction to imbri- 
cated, or dense, or approximated, or any such words. 
26. Interrupted (interruptus) ; when any symmetrical arrange- 
ment is destroyed by local causes, as, for example, a spike 
is said to be interrupted when here and there the axis is un- 
usually elongated, and not covered with flowers ; a leaf 
is interruptedly pinnated when some of the pinnae are much 
smaller than the others, or wholly wanting ; and so on. 
27* Continuous, or uninterrupted (continuus) ; the reverse of the 
last. 
28. Entangled {intricatus) ; when things are intermixed in such 
an irregular manner that they cannot be readily disentangled ; 
as the hairs, roots, and branches of many plants. 
29. Double, or twin (-]' duplicatus, geminatus) ; growing in 
pairs. 
30. Rosaceous (rosaceus) ; having the same arrangement as the 
petals of a single rose. 
31. Radiant {radiatus) \ diverging from a common centre, like 
rays ; as the ligulate florets of any compound flower. 
2. Of Number. 
1. None {nullus) ; absolutely wanting. 
2. Numerous (numerosus) ; so many that they cannot be counted 
with accuracy ; or several, but not of any definite number. 
3. Solitary (solitarius, unicus) ; growing singly. 
4. Many (in Greek compounds, poly) ; has the same meaning as 
numerous. 
5. Few (in Greek compounds, o%05) ; means that the number 
is small, not indefinite. It is generally used in contrast with
