In Figure 11 the three positions of the perianth and stamens in reference to the ovary are shown for comparison. Some Particular Forms of Flowers That there are numerous differences among flowers is shown by the fact that largely upon differences pertaining to flowers, the Flowering Plants have been divided into many classes, such as orders, which in turn are subdivided into fami- lies, then into genera, and finally into species of which there are more than 100,000.
