. A history of the vegetable kingdom; embracing the physiology of plants, with their uses to man and the lower animals, and their application in the arts, manufactures, and domestic economy. Illus. by several hundred figures. Botany; Botany, Economic; 1855. 96 HISTORY OF THE VEGETABLE KINGDOM. Acom. ezactly to tlie above definition or exceptions, are regarded, however, by botanists as being also varieties of tlie berry, such particularly as those of the juniper and yew tree. In the former the scales of the fertile catkin, which ultimately be- come succulent, unite also together and form a globular fruit, resembling a berry so much as to have obtained the name. In the latter, the calyx or receptacle, as it is generally believed to be, which is at first a thin and scaly like sub- stance, of a whitish or greenish complexion, embracing merely the base of the ovary, expands and enlarges into a thick and pulpy envelope, of a bell shaped figure, and of a most beautiful red, investing the whole of the ovary except the mouth or open extremity, and giving the fruit the appearance of a berry, as it is generally called, though, strictly speaking, it is more pro- perly a nut than a berry. The nut shell is a pericarp of a hard woody texture, though sometimes of the consistence of leather; it rarely opens spontaneously, or if it does so, it divides into two valves only. The Bcom and filbert are ex- amples of the hard nut; the chestnut of the soft leathery. In the genus eckium, the pericarp is crustace- ous, and in myosotis as hard as flint. The figure of the nut shell is generally spherical or oval, sometimes it is angular. The acom is a single celled fruit, and one seeded, in conse- quence of the constant abortion of several ovules. It proceeds from an inferior many celled and many seeded ovary, of which the pericarp is in- timately attached to the seed, and always pre- sents at its summit the very minute teeth of the limb of the calyx, and is in part contained in a kind of scaly
