So also in the Pumpkin and Squash. Botanists use the following terms to express the different ways in which stamens may be connected. They are Syngenesious, when the airthers are united into a ring or tube, as in Lobelia (Fig. 184 a), and in the Sun- flower, and all that family. Monadelphous (i. e. in one brotherhood), when the filaments are united all into one set or tube, as in Lobelia (Fig. 184y), and the Mallow Family (Fig. 185) ; also in Passion-flowers and Lupines (Fig. 187). isi.

Fig. 186 shows this in the Pea, and the like, where nine stamens are combined in one set and one stamen is left for the other. Triadelplioiis (in three brotherhoods), 18S. Mallow. -(vhen the filaments are united or collected in three sets, as in the Common St. John's-wort or Hy- pericum (Fig. 297); and Polyadelphous (in many brotherhoods), when combined in more than three sets, as in some St. JoUn's-worts. 215. Pislils united are very common. Two, three, four, or more grow together at the time of their formation, and make a Compound Pistil. Indeed, wherever there is a single pistil to a flower, it is much oftener a compound pistil than a simple one. But, of course, when the pistils of a flower are more than one, they are all simple. Pistils may be united in every degree, and by their ovaries only, by their styles only (as they are slightly in Pi-ickl}-Ash), or even by their stigmas only (as in Milkweeds), or by all three. But more commonly the ovaries are united int
