The term was for- merly applied to the spurs of flowers like the Violet, Balsam, etc., because they contain these glands; but it is now restricted to the glands themselves. Nectaries are usu- ally developed from the torus, hut often from any other part of the flower. "When on the corolla, they are generally at the base of the petals, on their inner face; sometimes sessile, as in the Crown Imperial; sometimes on stalked hairs, making a lovely fringe, as in the Broom-rape (Fig. 159, d). Very often the nectary is only a glandu- lose couch, as in the spur of the Columbine petal. 250.
