It supports a case at the top, the " anther," in which are contained the "pollen-cells" or microspores, and which escape by the bursting of the anther, either by long slits (Fig. 67), by holes or pores (Fig. 68), or by valves or trap-doors. The pollen-cells are very varied in different plants, the forms ha\ang reference to^their mode of transit, however the ovary has no compartments, but only a single cavity. In Fig. 73 may be seen the essential parts of the flower of the Vine after the removal of the petals. Here are seen the five stamens, each with its anther at the top. surrounding the pistil, which in this case consists of the ovary and a stigma at the top without any intermediate style, or with a very short one. At Fig. 74 are represented the six stamens of a Wallflower surrounding the central pistil, and of v/hich two are shorter than the other four (the mark of the order Crncifercc, to which the Wall- flower, like the Cabbage, belongs). The same parts are seen in the Foxglove flower,.
