Labels: obsolete Example: In the Capitule headed · Miscellaneous declarations of Christ, intimating the existence and action of a Superior Nature in himself, we find (p. 295) an interesting addition to the text, the concluding sentence of which is so characteristic of the author's love of justice, that without pretending to ascribe to Dr. Smith the monopoly of that virtue, it would, ahd his work been published ananymously, have gone far towards revealing him. Example: On 2ᵈ Nov. the Capitul was signed & fridʸ 3ᵈ we took possession. 2. Synonym of chapter: a reading at one of the canonical hours. Example: At Vespers the following is sung, after the Capitule: Example: In the capitule, and the responsory which follows it, we recall to the memory of our Lord, in the words of his prophet — or, rather, of the Church, to whose sentiments theprophet gives expression— the fact that we are by no means strangers in his sight. 3. The flowering head that terminates a stem, a flower or flower head. Example: In this country the merits of the Chrysanthemum are already appreciated, and for some years it has acquired considerable repute, which is chiefly owing to the facility with which it doubles its capitules, and modifies the colours of its flowers. At the present day a great number of varieties are in cultivation, some of them with flowers dark purple, nearly black, rose, white, orange, yellow; sometimes we find a single capitule or head with two different colours; other varieties are distinguished by the form of their flowers, which constitute rayed capitules, partly or entirely ligulate; and partly or entirely tubular. Example: These I take to be the shrunk up leaves that belong to the several deformed flowers of the capitule, and if you dissect the capitule you will find a succession of petals or leaves or whatever they be, becoming smaller and smaller until they are mere scales, and the more scale-like they are the more fleshy and the less leaf-like is their texture, and the suspicion my dawn upon you, as it has dawned upon me, that in my supposed capitule or head, or umbel, or many-flowered scape, we have not merely a number of monstrous flowers, but a number also of bulbs, stems, and leaves, all shrunk into leaf-like or scale-like processes, the double Daffodil being in reality a proliferous production, a sort of Pelion upon Ossa of a very lowly kind, and one of the most curious of all the vegetable monsters.
