Flowers of lilies and trilliums (Fig. 221) answer these details. Not all flowers in the lily family answer in all ways to this description. The term perianth 1^ is used in other plants than the Liliacea?. â 276. PAPILIONACEOUS FLOWERS. â In the pea and bean tribes the flower has a special form (Fig. 222). The calyx is a shallow 5-toothed tube. The corolla is composed of four pieces,âthe large expanded part at the back, known as the stand- ard or banner; the two hooded side pieces, known as the wiitg^ ; the single boat-shaped part be- neath the wings, known as the Ixevl. The keel is supposed to represent two united petals, since the calyx and stamens are in 5's or multi- ples of 5; moreover, it is com- posed of two distinct parts in cassia (Fig. 223) and some other plants of the pea family.
