Fig. 285. Flower of Lobelia cardinalis. Cardinal flower; corolla making approachto the ligulate form; filaments {st) monadelphous, and anthers (.a), 100 STAMENS. [SECTION Pentade^kous (five brotherhoods), when in five sets, as in some speciesof Hypericum and in American Linden (lig. 277, 289). Polyadelphous (many or severalbrotherhoods) is the term generallyemployed when these sets are several,or even more than two, and the par-ticular number is left terms all relate to the fila-ments. Syngenesious is the term to denote that stamens have their anthers united, coalesoent into a ring or tube; as in Lobelia (Fig. 285), in Violets, and in all of the great family of Composltse. 284. Their Number in a flower is commonly expressed directly, but sometimes adjectively, by a series of terms which were the name of classes in the Linnsean artificial system, of which the following names, as also the preceding, are a survival: — Monandrous, i. e. solitary-stamened, when the flower has only one stamen,Diandrous, when it has two stamens only,Triandrous, when it has threestamens, Tetrandrous, when it has fourstamens, Pentandrous, when it hasfive sta
