The petal scallops of Little Buttercup’s collar corolla are held in place about her neck in a little green cup-shaped holder.
This holder is called a cā’-lŷx, or cup.
The calyx cup has five pointed scallops.
Each scallop is called a sĕp´-ăl.
Little Buttercup wears not only a beautiful yellow collar corolla made of shiny yellow petals, held in place by the green sepals of the calyx cup, but she has a lovely necklace of fringe close about her neck.
Each thread of fringe is a stā´-men.
Each stamen is made of a thread called a fĭl´-ă-mĕnt, and on the end of each filament dangles a little bead, called an ăn´-thẽr.
Proud little Buttercup not only wears all of these beautiful things, but she uses powder!
On each anther bead Little Buttercup carries some yellow powder.
