About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: alous. When all the sepals, all the petals, all the stamens, and all the pistils are alike, the flower is regular; when any or all of them are unlike, as in the pea and bean, or when a gamopetalous corolla is not equally lobed, as in the mint, it is irregular.

Contrast with these stems a cross-section of an oak, as shown in Fig. 44. In this section there are conspicuous layers or rings of wood; the internal threads are not to be seen. The corn-stalk and the trunk of the palm increase in diameter by the addition in the interior of new threads which stretch out the surface of the stalk. These plants are inside growers or endogens. Fig. 43. Fig. 44. The trunk of the oak increases in diameter by the addition of new wood in layers near its surface. It is, therefore, an outside grower, or an exogen. In the Northern Un...
