Botany. u OEGANOGEAPHY AND GLOSSOLOGY. The Alpine Strawberry (fig. 179) presents a curious metamorphosis of the floral whorls. The calyx (s) is normal, the five outer leaves are bifid, and accurately represent the stipules of the leaves. The petals (p) appear as green, strongly veined, nearly sessile leaves. 188. Alpine Strawberry. 179. Alpine Strawberry. 180. Alpine Strawberry. 181. Alpine Strawberry. 182. Alpine Strawberry. Carpel without the Green petal (mag.). Green stamens. Carpel (mag.). ovary (mag,). •with five acute ciliate lobes (fig. 180). The twenty stamens (fig. 179, e) are arranged in four whorls, and are also expanded into green petioled simple or three- lobed leaves (fig. 181); most of them bear on each side of the base of the blade a yellow boss (a, a), representing a suppressed anther. The carpels (fig. 179, c), which have also reverted to leaves, are arranged spirally on a receptacle, which becomes succulent as the green flower grows. The carpellary leaf (fig. 182 ), the integument of the seed (), called the ovulary leaf, and the embryo are transformed through excessive development into overlapping leaves. Of these, the outer leaf, often bifid (), represents the ovary; its base sheaths the inner leaf (fig. 183, ), which should have formed the outer integument of the ovule. At the inner base of this ovulary leaf (183, ) is a pointed shoot (p) ; this is the embryo, of which a vertical section (fig.
