. Botany for academies and colleges: consisting of plant development and structure from seaweed to clematis. Botany; 1889. THE FLOWER. 107. Fig. 148.—Houseleek {Sampervivmn teclorum). gantly exemplified in the Stone-crop Order (Fig. 82, h), in which are the Red and White Sedums (8. pulohellvm, ter- natum) of the Southern States. Here the flower has all the requisite characteristics: It is Perfect, with both sta^ mens and pistils; Complete, with pistils, stamens, corolla, calyx ; Regular, with the parts in each whorl similar to one another; Symmetrical, with the same number of parts in each whorl. Its like parts are Distinct,—that is, sepa- rate from one another; they are Free, the parts of each whorl separate from the whorl next to it; Alternate, the parts of each whorl alter- nating with the parts of the whorl next to it. This Order presents the typical flower in the three ruling numbers. In the Houseleek (Fig. 148) the parts are usually 12 (a multiple of 3), some- times 20 (a multiple of 5); in the Sedums the central flower of the cyme is qui- nai-y, the rest of the inflo- rescence is quaternary (4, a multiple of 2). 235. Radical Numbers. Taking the Greek numerals Monos (1), Dis (2, twice), Treis (3), Tettares (4), Pente (5), Hex (6), Hepta (7), Okto (8), Ennea (9), Veka (10), and adding to each an- other Greek word, meros (part), we have the follow- ing vocabulary of floral parts: Monomerous (1-me- rous); Hippuris ; DimermiS (2-merous); Circaea; Tri- merous (3-merous); typical number of Endogens ; Tet- F,G. ('r,o«a«rf™ 6uUa): 1, fl.; rarnerous (4-merous), amul- 2, pistil; 4, trans, sec. of ovary; 5, vert, sec; 6, tiple 01 2; Heath, J< uchsia; trans, sec. of fr.; 7, unripe fr.; 8, anther. Pentamerous (5-merous) ; typical number of Exogens; Hexamerous (6-merous), a multiple of 3; Outta Percha (Fig. 149);.
