In like manner, the corolla may be com- posed of petals, or it may be of one piece and variously lobed. A calyx of one piece, no matter how deeply lobed, is gamosepalous. A corolla of one piece is gamopetal- ous. When these series are of separate pieces, as in Fig. 187, the flower is said to be polysepalous and polypetalous. Sometimes both series are of separate parts, and sometimes only one of them is so formed. 252. T
