inferus

The "_calyx inferus_" seems scarcely ever to become "_calyx superus_," while, on the other hand, the "_calyx normaliter superus_" frequently becomes inferior from detachment from, or from want of union with the surface of the ovary.

Phylica I think belongs to a very different order: its whole fruc - tification is singular, and I know no genus that approaches it but Pencea: in both I suspect the real Calyx is inferus and 3-phyllous.

_superus_ is a structural characteristic to which all botanists attach considerable importance; so that when exceptional cases occur in which the calyx becomes detached from the ovary, becomes, that is, _inferus_ or _liber_, a proportionate degree of interest attaches to the irregularity.

On the contrary, when a corolla is placed above the germ, it is called Superior (corolla J up en:, (Izs fupcrus); and when it inclofes the germ, fo as to have its bafe below it, then it is called Inferior (corolla infera, fos inferus). —
