Series 111. CalycifLCk.e. — S tamens and petals usually inserted on the 
margin of a thin disk lining the base or the whole of the calyx-tube, and free 
from the ovary unless the calyx-tube is also adnate to it. Stamens definite or 
indefinite. Ovary either free and superior or enclosed in the calyx tube, or 
inferior and adnate to the calyx-tube. 
(In Mimosta • and a few genera of Papilionaceo ■ and V<esalpinie<c. as well as in isolated genera 
of Sa.rifraycw and some other Orders, the stamen-bearing disk is reduced lo a narrow ring or 
disappears altogether. The distinction between Calycitlor<c and Thalanu flora is therefore 
general only, not absolute. — Benth.)
