. A general system of botany, descriptive and analytical. In two parts. Part I. Outlines of organography, anatomy, and physiology. Part II. Descriptions and illustrations of the orders. By Emm.

The orders arranged after the method followed in the universities and schools of Great Britain, its colonies, America, and India; with additions, an appendix on the natural method, and a synopsis of the orders, by Hooker.

OvaTj cut transversely (mag.). retaining its central position [Myrtle, fig. 381). Most modern botanists explain this latter an-angement by assuming that the ovary is consolidated with the calyx-tube; —a theory which prevailed during the first half of the present century, and the expressions ' ovary adhering to the calyx' and ' calyx adhering to the ovary' have been employed in all Floras and descriptive works. But a closer study of the development of organs has shown that the so-called adherent calyx-tube is in reality a cup-shaped expansion of the receptacle, which has enveloped the ovary, and that the calyx only commences at the same point as the stamens and petals. Hence, what has hitherto been called an adherent calyx-tube, ought to be called a recep- tacular tube or cup. We shall return to this question when speaking of the Torus. The ovary is said to be half-inferior {ov. semi-inferum) or half-adherent {ov. semi-adhwrens), when it does not wholly adhere to the receptaeular tube {Saxifrage, fig. 382). In the compound ovary (whether free or inferior) the partial ovaries may be variously united:—1, the edges touch {Gooseberry, &g. 383; Mignonette, fig. 384;.
