palous calyx, such as _Wheel-shaped_, or _Rotate_; when spreading out at once, without a tube or with a very short one, something in the shape of a wheel or of its diverging spokes, Fig. 252, 253. _Salver-shaped_, or _Salver-form_; when a flat-spreading border is raised on a narrow tube, from which it diverges at right angles, like the salver represented in old pictures, with a slender handle beneath, Fig. 249-251, 255. [Illustration: Fig. 248. Polypetalous corolla of Soapwort, of five petals with long claws or stalk-like bases.] [Illustration: Fig. 249. Flower of Standing Cypress (Gilia coronopifolia); gamopetalous: the tube answering to the long claws in 248, except that they are coalescent: the limb or border (the spreading part above) is _five-parted_, that is, the petals not there united except at very base.] [Illustration: Fig. 250. Flower of Cypress-vine (Ipomoea Quamoclit); like preceding, but limb _five-lobed_.] [Illustration: Fig. 251. Flower of Ipomoea coccinea; limb almost _entire_.] [Illustration: Fig. 252. Wheel-shaped or rotate and five-parted corolla of Bittersweet, Solanum Dulcamara. 253. Wheel-shaped and five-lobed corolla of Potato.] _Bell-shaped_, or _Campanulate_; where a short and broad tube widens upward, in the shape of a bell, as in Fig. 254. [Illustration: Fig. 254. Flower of a Campanula or Harebell, with a campanulate or bell-shaped corolla; 255, of a Phlox, with salver-shaped corolla; 256, of Dead Nettle (Lamium), with labiate _ringent_ (or gaping) corolla; 257, of Snapdragon, with labiate _personate_ corolla; 258, of Toad-Flax, with a similar corolla spurred at the base.] _Funnel-shaped_, or _Funnelform_; gradually spreading at the summit of a tube which is narrow below, in the shape of a funnel or tunnel, as in the corolla of the common Morning Glory (Fig. 247) and of the Stramonium (Fig. 246). _Tubular_; when prolonged into a tube, with little or no spreading at the border, as in the corolla of the Trumpet Honeysuckle, the calyx of Stramonium (Fig. 246), etc. 261. Although sepals and petals are usually all blade or lamina (123), like a sessile leaf, yet they may have a contracted and stalk-like base, answering to petiole. This is called its CLAW, in Latin _Unguis_. _Unguiculate_ petals are universal and strongly marked in the Pink tribe, as in Soapwort (Fig. 248). [Illustration: Fig. 259. Unguiculate (clawed) petal of a Silene; with a two-parted crown.] [I
