Torose

Perhaps the figure in Plum, icon t. 102, f. 1. is referrible to this species, and all the synonymes to the following, but the leaves in our plant are not peltate as int it, the flowers are smaller and the legume is not glabrous nor torose at the seeds, as represented in the figure of Plumier.

With the Carabidae, Hydrocanthari, and Lucanidae, the testicles consist of two extremely long, torose caeca, ( 31 ) of which each is sometimes enclosed in two special envelopes.

Several gradations between the smooth and the torose or embossed forins are to be met with, sometimes even on one hand-specimen of the shales; the most torose variety ( var. torosa, Q. J. G. S. loc. cit. fig. 8) occurs in the buff marl with selenite, eight or nine feet above the Rissoa-bed-weith Planorbis.

A not uncommon state of Lysimachia stricta, without flowers, and bearing concatenate or torose bulblets in the axils, is the original of the Viscum terrestre of Linnæus .

The pattern of a torose surface suggests that lower threads of flow sank down into plastic mud which then resisted being carried away.

In the LV the anterior part of the hinge is developed as a deep, oval, loculate trough which is framed proximally by a torose lip.
