. The elements of botany embracing organography, histology, vegetable physiology, systematic botany and economic botany ... together with a complete glossary of botanical terms. Botany. Peiu-n. the Columbine have spurs. Sometimes there is only a gentle swelling or blunt, outward projection (as in Adlu- mia), which is denoted by the word saccate. Sometimes se- pals or petals are eared or crested; or they have, like the Pink, a projection (corona) at the point where the claio or narrow part of the petal joins â with the spreading lobe or limb. 109 jg. When there is no adhe- sion or growing together of the calyx and corolla, the former is plainly inserted below the points of insertion of the corolla, stamens, and pistils. In such case (Fig. 109), the calyx is said to be free or inferior; or the calyx and corolla are said to be hypogynous (Gr. hypo, under; guna, pistil). The cohesion may be to the extent shown in Fig. 110, where the petals and stamens are inserted on the calyx-tube. The petals are then said to be perig- ynous (Gr. peri, around), though the calyx is free. The calyx-tube may be consolidated with the lower part of the pistil or ovary, when it is said to be adherent or superior ; in this case the parts appear to be inserted upon the pistil (ovary), and are therefore said to be epigynous (Gr. epi, upon ; Fig. 111). If the adhesion does not extend so far up (half-way), the calyx is said to be half-superior. Figs. 109-111.
