flower, arising from the bottom of the calyx, and throwing
out by the petals, stamens, and pistills. Caryophylleae,
especially in Silene.
:
Thecaphore.
Thecaphorum, Basigynium. A gynophore from whence
only one ovary arises. Phaca, Cleome.
POLYPHORE.
Polypliorum. A gynophore from whence several ovaries
arise. Fragaria.
NECTARY.
Nectarium. A glandular organ, situated upon the receptacle
ofthejiower, distilling peculiar juices.
Position.
On the receptacle, Nectarium epiclinum. To which belong
the following variations
Gynobasic, gynohasicum. Growing under the ovary,
and not extending beyond it. Labiatse, Ruta, Cneorum
tricoccum.
Epigynophoric, epigynophoricum. Placed under the
ovary, on the top of the gynophore. Cucubalus.
Contracted, contractum. Under the ovary, and not
wider than it. Aurantiacese, Cneorum tricoccum.
Marginal, marginans. Broader than the base of the
ovary. Menyanthes, Boraginese, Rhamnus. PI. 1 1 . fig. 5.
Adherent, adherens. The edge extends along the surface
of the ovary, and is united with it throughout its whole
extent. Lyciura, Physalis Alkekengi, Convolvulus—sometimes
this nectary can only be distinguished from the ovary
by its diiferent colour, and glandular appearance.
Half-adherent, semi-adherens. The edge adheres only
to the bottom of the ovary, and is free at the upper part.
