The column-liKe part in the center of the flower is called the pistil. This also consists of three principal parts, viz., the enlarged flattened summit, called the stigma (stig'-ma); the egg-shaped base called the ovary (o'-va-r}'); and the slender part connecting the two, the style. The ovary contains a smaller, egg-shaped part called the ovule (o'-vule), which when developed becomes the seed. Many flowers have more than one pistil. Recapitulating, the parts of the flower are, in the order we have considered them: aâThe calyx; when divided, the parts are called sepals. bâThe corolla ; when divided, the parts are ca-Wad. petals. câThe stamens, the parts are the filament, anther and pollen. dâThe pistil or pistils; th ' parts are the stigma, ovary and style. The ovary contains the ovule or ovules. 146. The Parts of the Flower Vary in Form in dif- ferent species. In the pea flower, (Fig. 44), the five petals, shown separately in Fig. 45, are not only quite unlike the petals of the c h e r r }⢠flower, but as appears, they are unlike Fl>i. 44. Fio. Fig. 44.
