“The flower has a tubular calyx with four ovate lobes and a corolla with four overlapping petals.”

“The outer surface of two parts yield numerous mamillate protrusions, which are larger and sparser on the calyx than those on the stalk.”

“Their perigonium consists of two trimerous whorls of tepals, or conversely of a perianth comprising calyx and corolla.”

“It differs from all other American forms, so far described, in the peculiar development of the calyculus.”

“The colors are obscure, but the striations on the calyculus are violet-tinted, and the reds perhaps predominate elsewhere.”

“This common species is well marked both by its color and by the delicate attachment of the capillitium to the calyculus.”

“In this coral the calicle is divided into quadrants by four principal septa, the main septum, counter septum, and two alar septa.”

“The septa, radial plates of calcite reaching from the periphery nearly or quite to the centre of the coral-cup or calicle.”

“Tabulae are stout horizontal partitions traversing the centre of the calicle and dividing it into as many superimposed chambers.”

“Most all of them had rough blotches or rings about the calix or around the body.”

“And if we wish to penetrate the secret we must not forget the Hebrew psalmist, with his calix meus inebrians quam prclarus est.”

“You will observe that in some flowers the calix is composed of four or more parts.”

“They are present on the stems, leaves, cotyledons, rachises, pedicles, bracts and calyces.”

“The base and sides are surrounded by cortical tissue, and the apex protrudes into the renal calyces.”

“The major calyces unite to form the renal pelvis which is the expanded upper end of the ureter.”

“English statice calyxes are yellow, white, purple, lavender or pink with tiny white or yellow flowers inside.”

“Similar to the color traits, plant prickles were also evaluated for individual organs including stem, leaf, and flower and fruit calyxes.”

“The real attraction, though, is the dramatic calyxes that remain after the small flower petals fall.”

“When darkness comes on they contract, and the calices of the flowers close.”

“Other naturalists, or rather other dreamers, made these insects spring from the calices of sweet-scented flowers.”

“The natives never remove the calices of the rose-flowers, but place the whole into the still as it comes from the garden.”
