This pistU is plainly of three parts,—thelowest and largest part, which bears the seeds,and which, therefore, we will call the ovary (oregg-case); the globular portion at the top, or thestigma (that is, a mark or brand, in referenceto its shape); the connecting portion, or style(in reference to its slender form). 144. Surrounding the pistil are six slender 134 LUSSOli^S WirM PLANtS bodies with enlargements at the top. Four areshown at 1 1, 4 4, in Fig. 134. The enlargementsare seen to have two parts, andeach part seems to have split alongits edge. If the pupil were torub one of these enlargements upona bit of black paper, he wouldprobably discover a yellow slender bodies are the sta-mens. They are plainly of twoparts, the stalk, or filament, andthe enlargement, or anther; andthe anther contains the yellow pow-der, or pollen, of which we havespoken.
