The leaves of the pasony, large and much divided below, become smaller and more simple above, gradually passing into bracts and theneo into sepals. In Calycantlius the sepal passes into the petal by gradations so gentle that we can not mark the limit between them. In the lilies these two organs aro almost identical. In the water-lily, where the sepal, petal, and stamen are all thus graduated, the transition from petal to stamen is particularly instructive. These two forms meet halfway by a perfect series of gradations, when a narrowed petal is capped slightly with the semblance of an anther. And finally, cases of a close resemblance between stamen and pistil, so unUke in the poppy, aro not wanting, aa in the tulip-tree. 379. Flowers always EEauLAE in the early bud. An early examination of flower-buds often exhibits the several kinds of organs much less diverse than they subsequently become. See the early bud of columbine. Those flowers which ar« 242 241.
