The segments of the calyx may be converging or reflexed^persistent or obsolete^ according to their condition in the ripe fruit, and these several characters are quite reliable; but the simple fact that the eye is open or closed^ may depend upon the accidental breaking away of the segments of the calyx, and is of little value as a sign.
