. The principles of botany, as exemplified in the phanerogamia. Botany; Botany; Phanerogams; 1854. little notch at its summit proves; the lower, of three. "When the two lips are thus gaping and the throat open, the corolla is said to be ringent, as in Lamium amplexicaule; but when the mouth is closed by the approximation of the two lips, by an elevated protuberance of the lower called the palate, as in the snap-dragon or toad-flax b, the corolla is designated as per- sonate or masked. When a tubular corolla is split down on one side in such a way as to form a strap-shaped process with several tooth-like projections at its apex, it becomes ligulafe {ligula, a little tongue,) or strap-shaped. (Fig. 40, d.) This kind of corolla is well seen in composite flowers such as the dandelion, in which all the flowers forming the head are ligulate. In the Compositse there are often two kinds of florets associated in the same head. Thus the outer florets which form the white ray of the Ox-eye daisy (Leucanthemum) are ligulate, whilst those which form the yellow disk are tubular, (c.) The largest flower in the world is the Kafflesia Arnoldii, (Fig. 41,) which was discovered by Sir Thomas Stamford 12*.
