flower as seen from above, natural size ; Fig. 2, the side view of one, with its bract ;

disclose the two alternating whorls of epiphyllous stamens and the superior ovary } 
magnified ; Fig. 4, a fruit ; and Fig. 5, the same in longitudinal section. 
In the fifth line, Fig. 1 is an enlarged view of a staminate flower, part of one of 
the two broad sepals having been turned back. Fig. 2 shows the same flower expanded 
and two of its four stamens. Figs. 3 and 4 show the female flower in an early stage 
with its tubular cloven perianth ; and Figs. 5, 6, and 7, the berry-like fruit, which 
consists, in fact, of a one-seeded nut enclosed in a fleshy orange perianth-tube. 
The sixth line represents Lythrum Salicaria Linne, the Purple Loosestrife, which 
gives its name to the Family Lythrace<e in the Order Myrtiflor <£. Fig. 1 in this line 
shows the flower, natural size, seen from below ; and Fig. 2, a somewhat enlarged 
longitudinal section through a flower of the medium-styled form, showing the 
honey-glands, superior ovary, and stamens in two whorls, one longer and the other 
shorter than the style. Fig. 3 shows the glandular calyx-tube, of which the 
alternate teeth are longer than the others, enclosing the essential organs, natural 
size ; Fig. 4, the gynaeceum ; Fig. 5, a longitudinal section through an unripe 
fruit ; and Fig. 6, a ripe capsule dehiscing. 
The Family Onagrace <e is represented by the seventh and eighth lines of figures, 
the seventh being the Rose-bay ( Epilobium angustifolium Linn6), and the eighth, the 
Enchanter’s Nightshade ( Circaa lutetiana Linne). In the former, Fig. 1 shows a flower, 
as seen from above ; Fig. 2, a stamen ; Fig. 3, the style and stigma ; Fig. 4, a side 
view of the flower in its later stage ; Fig. 5, the fruit ; and Fig. 6, one dehiscing 
and discharging the plumed seeds, all these figures being of natural size. 
In the eighth line, Fig. 1 shows a flower of Circ^ea , seen from above, and Fig. 2, 
one in side view ; Fig. 3, an enlarged longitudinal section of the same ; Fig. 4, the 
ovary, calyx, and style ; Fig. 5, two deflexed fruits ; and Fig. 6, a fruit in longi- 
tudinal section, these three figures (4, 5, and 6) being of natural size. Fig. 7 is an 
enlarged transverse section of a fruit. 
The ninth line represents the Mare’s-tail ( Hippuris vulgaris Linne), Fig. 1 being 
a young perfect flower ; Fig. 2, a pistillate one ; Fig. 3, a perfect one, showing both 
stamen and stigma fully formed ; Fig. 4, a fruit ; and Fig. 5, the same in section, 
all figures magnified. 
The last line of figures represents the Cucurbitaceous Bryonia dioica Jacquin, 
Fig. 1 being a staminate flower seen from below ; Fig. 2, a female flower in side 
view ; Fig. 3, the style and stigmas in side view ; Fig. 4, the three bifurcate stigmas 
seen from above ; Fig. 5, a young berry ; and Fig. 6, the same in section. Figs. 3 
and 4 are enlarged, whilst the rest are of natural size.
