Specialization.âLooking from the Lotus Lily and the Butter- cup as types of highest floral development in Exogeus, it is both in- teresting and instructive to see here, as in Endogens, how the various types have developed on the one hand and specialized their parts on the other; until from the great Creamnut-tree of South America, in which a single flower develops 4800 stamens, we see the Sunflowers (Fig. 142) so specialized that their little flowers (called florets) are in close heads, with each fruit (Eig. 142, b) an akaine; the Oaks (Fig. 66) with apetalous flowers; the Mistletoe (Pig. 65) with its seed reduced to the nucleus. 122. Motherhood. The master-builder.âThe process of life, through all its gradations, from the simplest to the most complex forms, whether of plant or animal, is the same as in the Ked Snow,âhirth and devel- opment from a mother-cell. And just as in the animal activities, so it is with the plant; every partâroot, stem, leaf, and flowerâis concerned in the growth of this expectant mother and subservient to her. The protoplasm creates cell after cell, which it sends out to gather materials for the bridal-chamber of the pistil. These skilful artisans frame the torus like a royal couch ; they deck it with petals and sepals which no Eastern loom can imitate. They attend in state on the embryo- daughter ; they bring the food she needs, they take away the refuse that might harm her. Day by day they shape the co
