On the top of the ovary is the style and stigma, stig. arranged in one whorl, as in the Stonecrop (fig. 284), or in several whorls alternating with each other, or they may form a more or less spiral arrangement upon the thalamus. When an apocarpous pistil is thus found with several rows of carpels, the thalamus, instead of having a nearly flattened top, as is usually the case when the number of carpels is small, frequently assumes other forms ; thus, in the MagnoUa and Tulip-tree, it becomes cylindrical [fig. 407); in the Easpberry (fig. 409, T) and Bcmun- cuius (fig. 366) conical; in the Strawberry (fi^. 408) hemi- spherical ; while in the Eose (fig. 285, r, r) it is hollowed out like a cup, or urn, and has the carpels arranged upon its inner surface. These varying conditions of the thalamus.
