calyces

The flour still adhered to this side; I see little bracteae or stipules apparently with glandular ends at the base of the calyces.

Each head is surrounded below by a whorl of lobed bracts about as long as the calyces which become swollen after flowering.

The dark crimson calyces are very fleshy and make excellent jelly, which has somewhat the flavor of the cranberry.

Normally the eggs of the spring butterflies are laid on the under side of the calyces of flower-buds of holly (Ilex).

In Allopora the cyclostems resemble the calyces of Anthozoan corals.
