When the swelling is carried downward, so as to form a sac, as in Cyjiripedium (Fig. 112, a) it is called Saccate. When the dilation is directed upward, so as to form a hood, as in Aconite (Fig. 108, a), it is called Cucullate or Galeate, and when the hood is. //^ //J- //£ //c? Fig. 105.

Most of these terms are also applicable to a single lip of the form next to be considered or to a petal. When one or more of the lobes of a corolla are separated by a deeper sinus than those of the others it is called Labiate or Lipped. If the fissure proceeds entirely across ihe corolla, cutting off the lower portion, it becomes One-lipped (Fig. 105). Otherwise it is Bilabiate or Two-lipped (Fig. 111). The two lips are denominated respectively the Upper or Inner (a), being that which is nearer the stem of the plant when the flower and its stem are st
