The FLORAL envelopes, or perianth, consist of one or more circles or ivhorls of leaves, surrounding the stamens. The outer of these whorls is called the calyx, and the other, if there be any, the corolla. The calyx may, therefore, exist without the corolla, but the corolla cannot exist without the calyx. If nei- ther of them exist, the flower is said to be naked, or achlamydt- ous (tf, privative, and x^otfivg, a cloak). 55. The CALYX {y-aXv^, a cup), therefore, is the external en- velope, the cup, of the flower, consisting of a whorl of leaves, with their edges distinct or united, usually green, but sometimes highly colored. The calyx-leaves are called sepals. 56. The COROLLA (Lat corolla, diminutive of corona, crown) is the interior envelope of the flower, consisting of one or more circles of leaves, either distinct, or united by their edges, usually of some other color than green, and of a more delicate structure than the calyx. Its leaves are called petals 57. The STAMENS are those thread-Uke organs, situated just within the perianth and around the pistils. Their number varies from one to a hundred, but the most common number is five. Their office is, the fertilization of the seed. They are collectively called the androRcium [avdqeg,^ stamens, oixo;, a house). • The plural of tvh^, a man, a term applied to the stamen, by LinnJEUs, in accordance with his favorite theory of the sexes of plants.
