A symmetrical flower, or plant, is one
whose parts, such as sspals, petals, sta

apple blossom has five petals, or g rwer
leaves; this is always The case except
when disease or accident has interfered
with nature. The stone-crop has ten
stamens and FIVE pisiils. Indian corn is
symmetrical; the stamens which are
found on the tassel always occur in
pairs, anil the pistils, the ends OF which
are the "silk," ere also arranged in twos
Nature economies space when that does
