One of the florets separated, consisting of a pistil constituted of a germen, two styles, and a glume which protects them. It is also an example of the order Triandria, having three stamens. 22. Diœcia, stamens and pistils in separate flowers on separate plants of the same species; Willow, Salix. A. A stamen-bearing ament. b. A floret separated, consisting of two stamens protected by a scale. C. A pistil-bearing ament. d. One of the florets separated, consisting of a pistil protected by a scale. It is also an example of the order Diandria, having two stamens. Fig. 23. Polygamia, stamens and pistils separate in some flowers, united in others, either on the same plant, or on two or three separate ones of the same species; Fig, Ficus. a. A stamen-bearing flower. b. A pistil-bearing flower. c. A perfect flower. It is likewise an example of the order Tria cia, the three kinds of flowers being on three different trees. 24. Cryptogamia, stamens and pistils obscure.

The above are examples of three of the orders of Cryptogamia, viz. Filices, Musci, and Hepaticæ. Several of the 24 classes of Linnæus have been abandoned by several eminent botanists. The classes Polyadelphia and Polygamia particularly have been rejected, and the plants distributed in other classes. These are rejected in Eaton's "Manual," which is consequently arranged under 22 classes. PLATE 16. COMPOUND FLOWERS.―p. 70. Fig. 1. A compound radiate Flower. Field Dasiy. a.
