ARRANGEMENT OF PARTS IN THE BUD. 276. JEstivation was the fanciful name given by Linnaeus to denote the disposition of the parts, especially the leaves of the flower, before An- thesis, i. e. before the blossom opens. Prajloration, a better term, is some- times used. This is of importance in distinguishing different families or genera of plants, being generally uniform in each. The aestivation is best seen by making a slice across the (lower-bud ; and it may be expressed in diagrams, as in the accompanying figures. 277. The pieces of the calyx or the corolla either overlap each other in the bud, or they do not. When they do not overlap, the aestivation is Falcate, when the pieces meet each other by their abrupt edges, without any infolding or overlapping; as the calyx of the Linden or Basswood (Fig. 277). Induplieate, which is valvate with the margins of each piece projecting inwards, as in the calyx of a common Virgin's-bower, Fig. 278, or Involute, which is the same but the margins rolled inward, as in most of the large-flowered species of Clematis, Fig. 279. Reduplicate, a rarer modification of valvate, is similar but with margins projecting outward. Open, the parts not touching in the bud, as the calyx of Mignonette. 278. When the pieces overlap in the bad, it is in one of two ways; either every piece has one edge in and one edge out, or some pieces are wholly outside and others wholly inside.
