    BOOK IV. 67. Ringent, or personate (ringens, personatus); a term applied to a monopetalous corolla, the limb of which is unequally divided ; the upper division, or lip, being arched ; the lower prominent, and pressed against it, so that when compressed, the whole resembles the mouth of a gaping animal; as the corolla of Antirrhinum. 68. Labiate (labiatus) ; a term applied to a monopetalous calyx or corolla, which is separated into two unequal divisions; the one anterior, and the other posterior with respect to the axis : hence bilabiate is more commonly used than labiate. Salvia, and many other plants, afford examples. It is often employed instead of ringent. 69. Wheel-shaped (rotatus); a calyx or corolla, or other organ, of which the tube is very short, and the segments spreading ; as the corolla of Veronica and Galium. 70. Salver-shaped (hypocrateriformis); a calyx or corolla, or other organ, of which the tube is long and slender, and the limb flat; as in Phlox. 71. Funnel-shaped [infundibularis, ivfundibidformis) ; a calyx or corolla, or other organ, in which the tube is obconical, gradually enlarging upwards into the limb, so that the whole resembles a funnel; as the corolla of Nicotiana. 72. Bell-shaped (campanidatus, -\campanaceus, f campaniformis); a calyx, corolla, or other organ, in which the tube is inflated and gradually enlarged into a limb, the base not being conical ; as the corolla of Campanula. 73. Pitcher-shaped (urceolatus); the same as campanulate, but more contracted at the orifice, with an erect limb; as the corolla of Vaccinium myrtillus. 74. Cup-shaped (cyathiformis); the same as pitcher-shaped, but
