aestivation's Usage Examples:

The circular aestivation is generally associated with a regular calyx and corolla, while the spiral aestivations are connected with irregular as well as with regular forms.

The manner in which the parts are arranged in the flower-bud with respect to each other before opening is the aestivation or praefloration.

- Diagram to illustrate contorted or twisted aestivation, in which the parts of the whorl are overlapped by each other in turn, and are twisted on their axis.

- Diagram to illustrate the quincuncial aestivation, in which the parts of the flower are arranged in a spiral cycle, so that I and 2 are wholly external, 4 and 5 are internal, and 3 is partly external and partly overlapped by 1.

- Diagram to illustrate imbricated aestivation, in which the parts are arranged in a spiral cycle, following the order indicated by the figures I, 2, 3, 4, 5.

- Diagram to illustrate valvular or valvate aestivation, in which the parts are placed in a circle, without overlapping or folding.

- Diagram of a papilionaceous flower, showing vexillary aestivation.

carina may perform a similar office, and then the aestivation is carinal, as in the Judas-tree (Cercis Siliquastrum).

Those forms of aestivation are such as occur in cyclic flowers, and they are included under circular aestivation.

- Diagram to illustrate induplicative or induplicate aestivation, in which the parts of the verticil are slightly turned inwards at the edges.

When the parts of a whorl are placed in an exact circle, and are applied to each other by their edges only, without overlapping or being folded, thus resembling the valves of a seed-vessel, the aestivation is valvate (fig.

This aestivation is imbricate.

"Induna >>The edges of each of the parts may be turned either inwards or outwards; in the former case the aestivation is induplicate (fig.
