Among the irregular polypeta- /7/1 ^J—\ lous flowers, which areextremely varied indifferent families, thepapilionaceous or but-terfly-shaped corolla of the Pulse family is the most familiar, andhas already been illustrated (471, Fig. 392). 510. Several forms of the gamopetalous corolla, or gamophyl-lous calyx, have been distinguished by particular names. Theseare likewise divided into the regular, where their parts are equal insize, or equally united; and the irregular, where their size or de-gree of union is unequal (471). Among the former are
