Gynandrous is another term relating to insertion of rarer occurrence, that is, where the stamens are inserted on (in other words, adnate to) the style, as in Lady's Slipper (Fig. 281), and in the Orchis family generally. 283. In Relation to each Other, stamens are more com- monly Distinct, that, is, without any union with each other. But when united, the following technical terms of long use indicate their modes of mutual connection : — Monadelphous (from two Greek words, meaning when united by their filaments into one set, usually into a ring or cup below, or into a tube, as in the Mallow Family (Fig. 286), the Passion- flower (Fig. 260), the Lupine (Fig. 287), and in Lobelia (Fig 285) Viadelphous (meaning in two brotherhoods), when united by the fila- ments into two sets, as in the Pea and most of its near relatives (Fig. 288 . usually nine in one set, and one in the other. Triadelphous(three brotherhoods), when the filaments are united in three sets or clusters, as in most species of Hypericum.
