Often the cup-shaped receptacle grows fast to the ovary all round. In other cases, the carpels, instead of being developed from the bottom of the cup, spring from the margin, thus forming a roof-like disk, around the edge of which the stamens are attached (Fig. 191). Here the stamens are epigynous, and the ovary is truly inferior. Other cases of epigyny and perigyny arise from the adnation (growing together) of the floral whorls without exceptional development of the Figs. 189, 190,191.—Diagrams illustrating hypogynous (/i), perigynous (P), am', epigynous (E) flowers ; a, axis; k, calyx ; c, corolla; «, stamens; /, carpels; n, stigma; sk, ovule.
