$Style—The style, in respect to its Lacinis, is either bifid, as in Persicakia find Cornutia .. .trifid, as in Clethra and Fran- kenia ;...(]audiifid, as in RuAyixvs;...quinquefid, as in Gerani- um ;...or dichotomous, halved, and each Utcinia halved again, as in Cohdia. The Figure of the style is either cylindric, like a rolling stone, as in Monotropa ;...angulate, cornered, as in Canna subulate, axd-shapcd, as in Geranium ; ...capillary, like hairs, as in Cerato- carpus ;...or thicker ton arils the top, as in Leucoium. In respect to Length, it is either very long, as in Tamarindus, Cassia, Campanula, Scorzonera and ZE.\;...very short, as in Papaver ;...or of the length of the stamina, as in Nicotiana, and most flowers. In respect to Thickness, it is either thicker than the stamina, as in Leucoium thinner, as in Ceratocarpus ;...or of equal thickness with them, as in Lamium. Its Situation is either on the apex of the germen, as is too common to need example both above and below the germen, as in Capparis and Euphorbia (unless the lower part in these be considered as the extension of the receptacle) ;...or on the side of the germen, as in Rosa, Rubus, and the rest of the plants of the order Po/yrynia, in the class of Tcosandria*, and also in Hirtella and Suriana. As to its Duration, it is sometimes persisting, as in the class Tetradynamia-]-. Stigma—The Numher of the stigmata is either a single one, as in most flowers ;...two, as in Syringa three, as in Campanula; ...four, as in Epilobilm and Parnassia ;...or five, as in Pyrola. The Lacini-fe of the stigma are either convolute, rolled together, as in Crocus ;...capillaiy, as in Rum ex ;...revolute, rolled back, as in Dianthus, Campanula, and in the class Syngenesialor bent to the left, as in Silene;...and in respect to their number, the stigma mav be sexpartitc, divided into six parts, ;ts in Asarum ; ...or mult/ful, with many divisions, as in Turnera. * Sec Pan II.
