gourd, pumpkin, the plant is monœcious ("in one house"). When they are on different plants, e.g. poplar, cottonwood, bois d'arc, willow (Fig. 182), the plant is diœcious ("in two houses"). Some varieties of strawberry, grape, and mulberry are partly diœcious. Is the rose either monœcious or diœcious?

Fig. 185.—Flower Of Catnip.
Flowers in which the parts of each series are alike are said to be regular (as in Figs. 173, 174, 175). Those in which some parts are unlike other parts of the same series are irregular. Their regularity may be in calyx, as in nasturtium (Fig. 183); in corolla (Figs. 184, 185); in the stamens (compare nasturtium, catnip, Fig. 185, sage); in the pistils. Irregularity is most frequent in the corolla.
