To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
5 4 employment of the term in an untechnical sense, that is, as de- signating some Other organ that happens to be shaped Hke a cup ; thus we find him calHng the Uly flower a calyx,' i.e. , a chalice-shaped flower.

There are two kinds, the leafy and the capill ary ; but both are united in, for example, the roseTTThe term petal is still wanting in botany. Its introduction into the vocabulary will not be proposed... until two generations after Fuchsius. Trie foliar parts of a flower are still leaves only. Yet what is curiously interesting is, that already as the green leaf is seen to have usually that which they have called its petiolus, or pediculus, so the flower leaf is credited with having its unguis, or claw; the more or less narrowed basal part by which it is attached to its receptacle. Fuchsius defines well enough this unguis, even remarking that in the flower of a red rose this claw is white. And so the distinguishing of the two parts, blade and claw, in this organ historically antedates the naming of the whole organ as petal; and Fuchsius, so far from affirming this to be a new distinction of his own making freely attributes it to "the ancients." In this Fuchsian vocabulary occurs what is perhaps the earliest botanical definition of stamens.
