. Botany for academies and colleges: consisting of plant development and structure from seaweed to clematis. Botany; 1889. THE MAN'S HOUSE. 117. 165.—Baniriu lit stamen), we have the terras Monandria, monandrous, Diandria, di- androus, etc., up to Decandria, decandrous, to represent the number of stamens in the androecium. When there are more than ten, the androecium is Polyandrous (6r. polus, many), and the stamens are Indefi- nite (111). When their number is equal to that of the corolla-lobes, as in the Primrose (Pig. 5), or to the petals in a polypetalous flower, as in the Sedum, the flower is Isostemonous (Gr. equal- stamened). When their number is less or greater than the number of the corolla-parts, the flower is A nisosiemonous,—unequal-stamened. 253. Position in regard to Calyx and Corolla.— When adherent to the sepals, as in the Banksia (Fig. 165), the stamens are Episepalous; when adherent to the corolla, as in the Primrose (Pig. 6), they are Epipetalous. They are usually Al- ternate with the lobes or petals, as in the Sedum ; but sometimes Op- posite or against them, as in the Primrose. They are Exserted when they project beyond the corolla, as in the Columbine (Pig. 154); Included, when quite within it; Primrose. 254. Position in regard to one an- other. — The stamens are Ascending when they rise obliquely (Penny- royal) ; Connivent when they lean towards each other around the pistil, with their anthers touching, but not cohering (Irish Potato, Egg-plant, Fig. 158); Declinate when all turned in one direction (Azalea); Erect when rising vertically (Herb-Eob- ert) ; Inflexed, curving in towards the pistil (Almond, Peach); Pendulozis, reverse of erect (Columbine). 855. When coherent, the stamens are Monadelphous, or in one brother- hood (Gr. adelpkos, brother), with their filaments united into one set, as in the Broom (Pig. 166), the Mallow, and Cotton. They are Diadelphous when their filaments are in two sets, as in the Pea (Fig. 167, A); Tri- adel
