PISTILS. 29. 4 3 1 2 pjG. 4. — No. 1, Lily (Lilium Japonicum); '-', pink (Dianilms); 3, a stamen ; 4, a pistil. 54. Tlie FLORAL ENVELOPES, Or PERIANTH, COllSlSt of 0116 Or more circles or ivJwrls of leaves, surrounding the stamens. Tlie outer of these whorls is called the calyx, and the other, if there be any, the corolla. The calyx may, therefore, exist without the corolla, but the corolla cannot exist without the calyx. If nei- ther of them exist, the flower is said to be naked, or achlamyde- ous («, privative, and x^-«f'^s, a cloak). 55. The CALYX (xaAi^i, a cup), therefore, is the external en- velope, the cicp, of the flower, consisting of a whorl of leaves, with their edges distuict or united, usually green, but sometimes highly colored. The calyx-leaves are called sepals. 56. The COROLLA (Lat. corolla, diminutive of coro7ia, croum) is the interior envelope of the flower, consisting of one or more circles of leaves, either distinct, or united by then edges, usually of some other color than gi-een, and of a more deheate structure than the cal^rx. Its leaves are called petals 57. Tlie stamens are those tliread-like organs, situated just witliin the perianth and around the pistils. Their number varies from one to a hundred, but the most common number is five. Their office is, the fertilization of the seed. They are collectively called the andrcccinm [avdQeg* stamens, oixo;, a house). * The plural of "-vn^, a man, a term applied to the stamen, by Linnseus, in accordance with his favorite theory of the sexes of platits. The term J"^f, woman, is, on the same grounds, applied to the pistil. ?.*. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for re
