Tlio iiiwos of wliich ilie ooiolla is mudo up are called I'rf,(/S. Those two sets taken are known as tlie Floral i:nrr/„j,; aiul also as tlio Prrianth, but tlie latter term is generally restricted to the Howers of Monocotyledons, sucli as Lilies, where the parts are very much alike! Some Howers of Dicotyledons, such as .Ararsh-Marii;old (Fi},'. Ill I, have only ow set of floral eiiveloi)es, and this is then nearly always the calyx, no matter what its colour is. Stajikns or Anukckcum : the third set of tiower-leaves, appearing as thread-like stalks with thickened ends {V\\:. 112), These produce the pollen. I'lsni. or(;vN<i:(: the central orKan of the flower wliich hears the seed. It may ho in several pieces, as in Butter- cup (Fii;. li;j), or in one piece as in Sliephcrd's Turse (FiK. 111). These last two sots taken toiiothor arc the Kssniitial Ori/<ins of the liower. They alone are directly concerned in the jiroduction of seed. The floral envelopes in-otect the essential organs, and attract whicli help to distribute tlic pollen. Kecei'; : the ciilar(;ed top of the peduncle to whicli the parts of the flower are an ached. Xote also the following points : Flowers are (a) PicKKECT, if they have both stamens and pistil, whether calyx and corolla are jiresent or not. (b) I-MPEKi'iccT, if oitlier stamens or pistil is wanting. And imperfect flowers are (1) SltDniiuih; if they bear stamens, but not jiistil, as in "Willow (Fig. 115). (2) ; if they bear pistils, but not stamens, as in Willow (Fig, IK
