Enclos- ing and protecting these often grow special organs (slightly 269 modified leaves), called the perianth; or, when two whorls, corolla (Fig. 269, cor), and calyx (Fig. 269, cal). These, together with the stamens and pistils, and also the axial structure which bears them (Fig. 269, torus), constitute the Flower, whose development in general is as follows: At the end of a stem, protected and concealed by the small leaves, called bud-scales, arise minute papillae, or elevations, forming a peripheral whorl (Fig. 270). These are the first development of the outer- most floral organs, namely, sepals (Fig. 270, s). Imme- diately following them appear another whorl of similar papillae (Fig. 271), situated within the first, and these represent the petals (Fig. 271, P). These two sets grow rapidly, arch over, and protect the essential organs which develop within. i8o. While the two 'imm^ ( W d whorls described above are increasing in size, a third whorl of papillae.
