The style is divided into five parts, cor- responding to the five car- Ficr. 48. Fig. 49. 53. At maturity, whilst tlie pistil or central organ has enlarged considerably, it will be found that the calyx* tube, which is adherent to it, has also grown very much. It is, in fact, the largely developed calyx-t^be which con- stitutes the edible part of the apple, the true pi'^ti) forming the core. It is not very easy to distin- guish the line which separates these two parts of the ripe fruit, but if a cross- section be made through the apple a circle of greenish dots may generally be made out at the outer limit of the core. A fruit of this sort is called a, pome. Tlie wither- ed calyx-teeth may be found in the hollow at the end op})03ite the stem, as also, generally, the remains of the five 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 Spotton, H.
