Orchidaceous, a form of the perianth peculiar to the Orchis with that large and singular tribe in general. It is a 6-parted double perianth, very irregular, characterized chiefly by its Up (labellum), which is the upper petal (lower by the twisting of the ovary) enlarged and variously deformed. Certain reduced forms of the perianth require notice here : 485. Pappus (jrdrrrroc, grandfather, alluding to his gray hairs) is a term applied to the hair-like calyx of the florets of the Composite and other kindred orders. The florets of this order are collected into heads so compactly that the calyxes have not room for expansion in ordinary way. The pappus is commonly persistent and often in- creases as the fruit matures, forming a feathery sail to waft away the seed through the air, as in the dandelion and thistle. It varies greatly in form and size, as seen in the cuts, sometimes consisting of scales, sometimes of hairs, again of feathers or bristles. Sometimes it is mounted on a stipe, which is the beak of the fruit. 831 838 829 830 888 3-32.
