In all probability, however, the second seed would be accounted for by the development of two seeds in one carpellary cavity.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

In some few instances the calyx is not at all altered, but the carpellary leaf is trifoliolate, or even quinquefoliolate, the corolla being then absent.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

The deeper sulci visible externally correspond to the inflexions of the carpellary leaves; in addition to this, the centre of the dorsum of each of these is marked with a line.    From Wordnik.com.  [Journals of Travels in Assam, Burma, Bhootan, Afghanistan and the Neighbouring Countries] Reference

Some varieties of the double tulip are very subject to a similar change, but, in this case, the petals and the stamens very frequently become more or less carpellary in their nature.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

Others have been led to see in each placenta, even when it is, to all outward appearance, a portion of the carpellary leaf, a direct prolongation from the axis, adherent to the leaf.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

The carpels in inferior ovaries seldom or never correspond to the lamina of the leaf, and between the vaginal portion of the carpellary leaf, and the axis who shall draw the distinction?.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

Sometimes a second carpellary leaf, similar to the first, is formed; in other cases the central axis of the flower is occasionally prolonged into a head of young flowers -- median prolification.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

Another condition, apparently sometimes mistaken for prolification of the fruit, is that in which the carpellary whorl becomes multiplied; so that there is a second or even a third series within the outer whorl of carpels.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

The tulip has a tendency to produce double flowers: one specimen seen with a regular three-leaved perianth, eight stamina, and four carpellary ovary, angles opposite the outer perianth leaves; the upper leaf or bract has a tendency to become petaloid.    From Wordnik.com.  [Journals of Travels in Assam, Burma, Bhootan, Afghanistan and the Neighbouring Countries] Reference

There is also an interesting class of cases where the prolification is strictly intra-carpellary; the axis is so slightly prolonged that it does not protrude beyond the carpels, does not separate them in any way, but is wholly enclosed within their cavity.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

Generally after the formation of the whorl of carpels, the energy of the growing point ceases, or if by chance it be continued, the result is more generally the production of a new flower-bud (median prolification) than the repetition of the carpellary series.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

On the other hand, there are cases in which the leafy coat of the ovule, in place of being a distinct organ, seems to originate from the margin of the carpellary leaf itself -- to be, as it were, a lobule or small process of the carpel, and not an absolutely new growth.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

In other cases the placentas were parietal above, but axile at the base of the capsule, a striking instance of the facility with which axile placentation becomes parietal, the change being here effected by the prolongation of the axis, and the formation on it of a second whorl of carpellary leaves.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

The stamens are subject to various changes in prolified flowers; they assume, for instance, a leaf-like or petal-like condition, or take on them more or less of a carpellary form, or they may be entirely absent; but none of these changes seem to be at all necessarily connected with the proliferous state of the flower.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

In this second class of cases the corolla is papilionaceous, the filaments free, the carpellary leaf on a long stalk provided with stipules, its blade more or less like the usual carpel, with its margins disunited or more commonly united with the ovules in the interior, sometimes represented by a foliaceous, dentate primine only.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

Calyx-teeth lance-shaped, acuminate; corolla more or less regular, arrested in its development and scarcely exceeding the tube of the calyx within which it is crumpled up; stamens but little changed; carpellary leaf on a short stalk, not exceeding the calyx tube, but the ovarian portion very long, and provided with abortive ovules.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

The stamens appeared to be arranged irregularly on the walls of the ovarian cavity; and while they were certainly more numerous at the lower portion (that now generally considered to be formed by the cup-like end of the pedicel), they were not wanting in the upper half of the ovary (or that which is probably formed from the carpellary leaves).    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

In speaking of these as cases of intra-carpellary prolification, it is, of course, impossible to overlook the fact that they differ in degree only from those cases where the lengthened axis projects beyond the cavity of the carpels; nevertheless they seem to demand special notice, because in these particular plants the placenta or its prolongation appears never to protrude beyond the carpels, or at least very rarely.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

From this it will be seen that six of the calycine ribs divide into three branches, one prolonged upwards as a lateral or median rib into the carpellary leaf, the other running horizontally to join with similar branches sent out from the neighbouring rib; the four intermediate calycine ribs divide into two branches only, which join the side branches of the first mentioned, but have no direct upward prolongation into the carpel.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference

Here the apex of the carpellary leaf is sometimes drawn out into a long style, terminated by a flattened spatulate stigma.    From Wordnik.com.  [Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation] Reference

Anonaceae or custard-apple tribe, which are certainly an advance from the Ranunculaceae; yet in the genus Polyalthea the fruit consists of a number of separate carpels, each borne on a long stalk, as if reverting to the primitive stalked carpellary leaves.    From Wordnik.com.  [Darwinism (1889)] Reference

Of the five ribs in each half of the calyx, the three central ones were joined together just at the point of confluence with the vascular circle, above which they formed but a single rib -- that traversing the centre of the carpellary leaf; the two lateral ribs of each half of the calyx seemed to be continuous, above the vascular rim, with the lateral ribs of the carpel; these lateral ribs were connected on either side with the central one by short branches of communication.    From Wordnik.com.  [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference
