The leaves of the pseony, large and much divided 'below, become smaller and more simple above, gradiunlly passing into bracts and thence into sepals. In Calyoanthus the sepal passes into the petal by gradations so gentle that we can not mark the limit between them. In the lilies these two organs are almost identical. In the water-lily, where the sepal, petal, and stamen are all thus graduated, the transition from petal to stamen is particularly instructive. These two forms meet half way by a perfect series of gradations, when a narrowed petal is capped slightly with the semblance of an anther. And finally, cases of a close resemblance between stamen and pistil, so unlike in the poppy, are not wanting, as in the tulip-tree. 379. Flowers always ebgulae in the early bud. An early examination of flower-buds often exhibits the several kinds of organs much less diverse than they subsequently become. See the early bud of columbine. Those flowers which are 243 242 241.
