Adnation

Adnate Unlike parts congenitally grown together. 

EpiGYNOUS The condition in which the perianth and stamens of a flower are adnate to the surface of the ovary, so as to appear to be inserted upon the top of it.

Gills Adnate to-adnexed Adnate to-adnexed Sinuate, adnate or adnexed... 

Adnation Attachment of one organ to another by its whole length. A term used in botany to describe the gills of agarics (mnshrooms and toadstools) see also Adnexed and Sinuate). 

Stipules.—Stipules are lateral leafy or membranous outgrowths from the base of the petiole at its junction with the stem. They may be divided into two groups, viz. lateral and axillary. The lateral group includes four types, namely, free lateral, lateral adnate, lateral connate and lateral interpetiolar. 

Lateral adnate stipules are such as fuse with and are carried up with the petiole as wing-like appendages. This t3 e is seen in the genus Rosa, in Clovers, etc. 

Connation and Adnation.—In the development of the flowers of primitive species of flowering plants, the parts of each whorl are disjoined or separate from each other. In many higher types, however, the parts of the same whorl frequently become partly or completely united laterally. This condition is termed connation, coalescence, cohesion or s)mgenesis. Illustrations of this ihay be seen in Belladonna, Stramonium and Uva Ursi flowers, where the petals have joined laterally to form gamopetalous corollas. When the one or more parts of different whorls are united, as of stamens with petals Rhammus) or stamens with carpels Apocynum) the union is called adnation or adhesion. 

Versatile, when the anther is attached near its center to the top of the filament, so that it swings freely. The adnate and versatile are introrse when they face inward, extrorse when they face outward. 

XI. Order Ranales.—MagnoUacea or Magnolia Family.—Trees and shrubs having alternate leaves and single large flowers with calyx and corolla colored alike. Sepals and petals deciduous, anthers adnate. Carpels and stamens numerous. Bark aromatic and bitter. Fruit a collection of follicles dehiscing dorsally.

Notei In many English works, e.g. Willis Dictionary, epipetalous is used in the sense of adnate to the petals or corolla, which is here considered as a semantic error.

One can assume that the H2O adsorption energy is greater on formation of water clusters near contacts between adjacent primary particles bonded one to another by the hydrogen bonds, but for tightly adnate particles, formation of such clusters is less probably therefore, the adsorbed water amounts are lower for...
