These three terms are also appHcable to the calyx and corolla; the first and last denotes the calyx and Fig. corolla being inferior and superior, or when speaking of the ovary or fruit, the opposite. In some cases, especially in the plants contained in the fourteenth class of Linnaeus, when the corolla is oblique, the stamens are generally on one side, and called declinate. The words Thalamiflora, Calyciflom, and Corolliflom, are divisional terms used by some botanists; the first two being equivalent to hypogynous and perigynous, and the third when the corolla is monopetalous, with perigynous stamens and free of the 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 Smith, John, 1798-1888.
