Botany. THE PISTIL. 65 cages of the contiguous carpels. The edges of the carpellary leaf (or sometimes its inner surface) present one or more small round bodies, attached to it directly or by a cord; these are the ovules, and will eventually become the seeds; the edges or surfaces bearing the ovules are the placentm; the cord uniting the ovule to the placenta is the ftinicle ; the limb of the carpellary leaf is the ovary; the upper portion of this limb, -when it forms a slender prolongation, 370.

In the polycarpellary pistil the carpels are :—1, entirely separate (c. distincta, Columbine, fig. 12; Thalictrum, fig. 364; Hellebore, fig. 370) ; 2, coherent by their ovaries at the base only, or half-way up {Fennel, fig. 371), or to the top {Flax, fig. 372; Stellaria, fig. 373); 3, coherent by their ovaries and styles {Cactus, &g. 374; Lily, fig. 376); 4, coherent by their ovaries, styles and stigmas, so as to simulate a solitary carpel {Primrose, fig. 876; Heartsease, fig. 377); 5, coherent by their styles and stigmas only, their ovaries being free {Periwinkle, fig. 454 ; Asclepias, fig. 361). Modern botanists, in deference to old usage, have continued to give the name of ovary to the union of several ovaries, which t
