Bilabmte calyx of the Dead-nettle (La?iiium j. Fig. 290. spond to the midribs of the component sepals. In a gamo- sepalous calyx in which the union exists in a marked degree, the part where the sepals are united is called the tube, the free portion the limb, and the orifice of the tube the throat ot faux {figs. 288 and 289). If the union between the sepals is unequal, or the parts are of different sizes, or of irre- gular figures or forms, the calyx is said to be irregular (fi^. 289) ; if, on the con- trary, the parts are alike in figure and form, of the same size, and united so as to form a symmetrical body, it is regular (fig. 288). Some varieties of the irre- gular and also of the re- gular calyx have received special names. Thus in the Dead-nettle (fig. 289), the irregular calyx is said to be labiate, bilabiate, or lipped, because the five sepals of which it is composed are united in such a manner as to form two lips. Of the regular forms of the gamosepalous calyx a number are distinguished under the names of tubular, bell-shaped or. Fie/. 290. Vertical section of the flower of the Myrtle (Myrtus communis), cat.
