When there is a stalk, or lengthened iuteruode of receptacle, directly under a compound pistil, as in Stanleya and some other CruciferEe, it is called a Gynophore. When the stalk is developed below the stamens, as in most species of Silene (Fig. 356), it has been called an Anthophore or Gono- PHORE. In Fig. 357 the torus is dilated above the calyx where it bears the petals, then there is a long internode (gonophore) between it and

A Carpophore is a prolongation of receptacle or axis between the carpels and bearing them. Umbelliferous plants and Geranium (Fig. 358, 359) afford characteristic examples. 325. Flowers with very numerous simple pistils generally have the re- ceptacle enlarged so as to give them room ; sometimes becoming broad and ftat, as in the Flowering llaspberry, sometimes elongated, as in the Black-.
