Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. TERATOLOGY TESTUDINARIA 1785. ose. Indeed, all parts of the flower, even to the ovules, may appear as green leaves of more or less irregular shapes. To this category belong the so-called green roses, which are not uncommon. IV. Concrescence. The actual union of parts may take place in the course of their development, though usually the apparent unions are to be explained quite otherwise (see Flower, p. 592), also Fig. 2489 (after Dudley). The above include only the more common malforma- tions, but on account of the extreme sensitiveness of plants to their environment and their great plasticity, all kinds of strange and curious deformities are pos- sible. Malformations have little or no significance in elucidating the obscure problems connected with the historical origins of organs, or with their homologies, though many arguments,more ingenious than sound,have been based upon them. The most important general works are the. fol- lowing: Moquin-Tandon.
