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 Shpper (Fig. 284), and ,,. in the Orchis family generally. 283. In Relation to each Other, stamens are more com- monly Bktbict, that is, without any union with each other. But when united, the following technical terms of long use 285 indicate tlieir modes of mutual connection : — Monadelphoiis (from two Greek words, meaning "in one brotherhood"), •when united by tlieir 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). Biadelphous (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 {\h\'ee brotherhoods), when the filaments are united in three sets or clusters, as in most species of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Gray, Asa, 1810-1888.
