Anthophore. 
Anthophorum. An elongation of the receptacle of the 
flower, arising from the bottom of the calyx, and throwing 
out by the petals, stamens, and pistills. Caryophylleae, 
especially in Silene. 
Thecaphore. 
Thecaphorum , Basigynium. A gynophore from whence 
only one ovary arises. Phaca, Cleome. 
Polyphore. 
Polyphorum. A gynophore from whence several ovaries 
arise. Fragaria. 
NECTARY. 
Nectarium. A glandular organ , situated upon the receptacle 
of the flower , distilling peculiar juices. 
Position . 
On the receptacle, Nectarium epiclinum . To which be- 
long the following variations : 
Gynobasic, gynobasicum. Growing under the ovary, 
and not extending beyond it. Labiatse, Ruta, Cneorum 
tricoccum. 
Epigynophoric, epigynophoricum . Placed under the 
ovary, on the top of the gynophore. Cucubalus. 
Contracted, contractum . Under the ovary, and not 
wider than it. Aurantiaceas, Cneorum tricoccum. 
Marginal, marginans . Broader than the base of the 
ovary. Menyanthes, Boraginese, Rhamnus. PI. 11. fig. 5. 
Adherent, adherens . The edge extends along the surface 
of the ovary, and is united with it throughout its whole 
extent. Lycium, Physalis Alkekengi, Convolvulus — some- 
times this nectary can only be distinguished from the ovary 
by its different colour, and glandular appearance. 
Half-adherent, semi-adherens. The edge adheres only 
to the bottom of the ovary, and is free at the upper part.
