MULTIPLICATUS FLOS

Volume 12 · 74 words · 1797 Edition

a luxuriant flower, whose petals are multiplied so as to exclude a part of the stamens.

A multiplied luxuriant flower differs from a full one, the highest degree of luxuriance, in that the petals of the latter are so multiplied as to exclude all the flaminia; whereas those of the former are only repeated or multiplied, two, three, or four times, as to the exclusion of only a small part of the essential organs.
