The Pistil,^, in figs 60 and 61, or pistils, occupy thecenter of the perfect flower. They are exceedingly va-rious in form, but always have at their base the seed-ves-sels or ovaries, ov, in which are found the ovules (littleeggs) or rudimentary seeds. The summit of the pistil isdestitute of the epidermis which covers all other parts ofthe plant, and is termed the stigma, st. As has been remarked, the floral organs may be consid-ered to be modified leaves; or rather, all the appendagesof the stem—^the leaves and the parts of the flower to-gether—are different developments of one fundamentalorgan.
