In fig. 61 the same is shown in section. The Calyx, (cup,) ex, is the outermost floral envelope. Its color is red or white in the Fuchsia, though generally it is green. When it consists of several distinct leaves, they are called sepals. The calyx is frequently small and inconspicuous. In some cases it falls away as the â flower opens. In the Fuchsia it firm- ly adheres at its base to the seed- \ vessel, and is divid- / ed into four lohes. The Corolla, (crown,) e, or ca, is one or several series of leaves which are situated within the calyx. It is usually of some other than a green color, (in the Fuchsia, purple, etc.,) often has marked peculiarities of form and great delicacy of structure, and thus chiefly gives beauty to the flower. When the corolla is divided into separate leaves, these are termed petals. The Fuchsia has four petals, which are attached to the calyx-tube. The Stamens,«, in fig's 60 and 61, are generally slender, thread-Jike organs, terminated by an oblong sack, the an- ther, which, when the flower attains its full growth, dis- charges a fine yellQw pr brown dust, the so-called Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Johnson, Samuel William, 1830-1909.
