They are perhaps analogous to the anther cells in the stamen. ^ The coroUa however often falls in one piece, the petals remaining fastened together for a certain distance on account of a peculiarity of their edges similar to that observed in the Linem. The petals often have the two edges a little un- symmetrical, the edge covering differing slight- ly from that covered, and sometimes differing in colour. The corolla often opens to the sun and closes again afterwards; it is generally very caducous like that of the Flax.
