Botany; Botany. 275 27S 7T5. A flower-bud castin? its calyx, and, 276, a flower of Poppy. 278 277. Pod or Celandine open- ing. 278. Frame of Ihe same, lurned flatwise, and seeds still on 9. Flower-bud, &c. of Eschscholtzia. 280. The cap-shaped calyx fallen off. 281. The pod. (rarely 3) sepals, which fall when the blossom opens, but 4 (or in one case 8 or 12) petals, which fall early. Sta- mens many, on the re- ceptacle. Pistil one, compound, but almost al- ways one-celled, many- seeded, the seeds borne on the walls or on pro- jections from them (pa- rietal). Eschscholtzia is remarkable for its calyx shaped like a pointed cap or a candle-extin- guisher. âIn most cases we have only one spe- cies of each genus. Petals 4, crumpled or plaited in the bud, which nods before opening (except in tiie Prickly-Poppy). Ovary and pod incompletely several-celled, by plates or placentas projecting from â the walls and covered with numberless seeds. Stigmas making a flat sessile cap. Pod hard, opening by pores under the edge of the cap of stigmas, (Papaver) * Poppy. Ovary and pod strictly one-celled, opening by valves, and leaving the placentas as a slender frame between them. Flowers yellow, rarely white. Pod and'leaves prickly. Style none; stigmas 4 or 6, (,Argeinbne) Prickly-Poppy. Pod bristly. Style present; stigmas 3 or 4, (Stylophorum) Celandixe-Poppy. Pod smooth, slender (Fig. 277): stigmas 2, (Chdidbnium) Celandise. Ovary and long narrow pod Z-celled by a thick partition in which the seeds are em- bedded; stigma 2-horned, (Glaiicium) * Hokn-Poppy. Petals not crumpled in the bud, which does not nod. Petals 8 to 12, narrow, white. Pod oblong. Juice orange-red, (Sanguinaria) Bloodroot. Petals 4, broad, yellow. Sepals united into a pointed cap which falls off
