Some cases of epigyny are doubtless to be regarded as due to the adnation of the calyx, corolla, stamens, and ovaries; in others the ovaries are adnate to the hollow axis which bears the perianth and stamens. Certain terms descriptive of relations between the stamens and pistils which have recently come into use require explanation here. Relative Terms—In many flowers the stamens and pistils do not mature at the same time—such are said to be dichogamous; when the stamens mature before, the pistils the flower is proterandrous • and when the pistils mature before the stamens they 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 Bessey, Charles E.
