The orders arranged after the method followed in the universities and schools of Great Britain, its colonies, America, and India; with additions, an appendix on the natural method, and a synopsis of the orders, by Hooker. Botany. 7. Wallflower, flower. {limbus, lamina), which is composed of parenchyma and fibro-vascular bundles, which latter form the nerves {nervi, 1, 2, 3). The middle nerve of the limb, which is continuous with the petiole, is the median nerve or midrib {n. medius, casta media). The bundles which rise from each side of the midrib are the lateral nerves {n. late- rales) ; and these again give rise to secondary (2), tertiary (3), &c. nerves, according to their subdivision. A leaf springing directly from the stem without a petiole is sessile (/. sessile, figs. 2-4), and that with a petiole is petiolate (/. petiolatum, figs. 5, 6). The leaf- blade is protected on both surfaces by a thin, colourless, and transparent skin [epidiermis), which covers almost the entire plant, and will be described later. The coloured leaves, arranged in whorls at the extremities of the ultimate branches of the axis, together form the flower {flos, fig. 7). The branch which immediately bears a fiower, and forms the axis of its component whorls, is its peduncle or pedicel {pedunculus, pedicellus, fig. 7, Ped). Its more or less swollen extremity, upon which the whorls of the flower are grouped, is the receptacle [receptaculum, fig. 10, e). In the most fully developed plants the flower is usually composed of four successive whorls (fig. 7), of which the internodes are suppressed. The outer or lower whcrl is the calyx {calyx, figs. 7, s, and 8), the leaves o
