In the female flower, the calyx, oftener valvate than imbricated, has sepals which may be from four or five to ten or a dozen. The petals, rarely as much developed as in the male flower and having the same form, are generally narrow, short, glanduliform and may even disappear altogether. They generally alternate with five independent or more or less united glands of an hypogynous disk surrounding the base of a sessile ovary, generally trilocular. In each cell is found a descendent ovule, with exterior and superior mioropyle, capped by an obturator of varied size. The style is early divided, often even from the base, into three bifid or several times dichotomous branches, sometimes even much ramified. The capsular, tri-eoccate fruit is provided with a central The bivalve shells each contain a descendent seed, analogous to that of the EuphorlecB and Ricinus (fig. 202), whose micropyle is accom-.
