The regular receptacle has no internodes. It bears the several whorls of the flower in close contact with each other, and is usually short and depressed. 443. Lengthened receptacle. When these whorls are numerous, as in buttercups, tulip-tree, the receptacle is necessarily elongated. So in Myosurus, blackberry, strawberry. In the two lattei; it imbibes the 290 nutritious- juices of the plant and becomes a part of the fruit. 444. Excavated recepta' CLE. On the contrary, the to- rus instead of lengthening may te hollowed out in the center. The carpels of the rose are sit- uated in such a cavity, while the other organs are borne upou its elevated rim. In Nelumbium the carpels are immersed in as many separate excavations in a large, fleshy receptacle. 445. But the internodes op the toeus are sometimes developed, e. g,, in noble liverwort a sbort inter- node between the corolla and oaJyx.
