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. [Pg.183]
