=Petalody of the pistils.=--Taken by itself, this is much less common
than the corresponding change in the stamens. It generally affects the
style and stigma only, as happens normally in _Petalostylis_, _Iris_,
&c., but this is by no means always necessarily the case. In some of the
cultivated varieties of _Anemone_ and _Ranunculus_ all the parts of the
flower remain in their normal state, except the pistils, which latter
assume a petaloid appearance.
Many of the double flowers owe their peculiar appearance to the
combination of the following appearances--a petal-like form of the
stamens, increase in the number of these organs and similar changes
affecting the pistils, and is applied to several distinct conditions. If
in any given flower all the stamens and all the pistils become wholly
petaloid, no pollen is formed, and of course no seeds can be produced,
but this very rarely happens, as usually some pollen is produced, and
some ovules capable of being fertilised are developed.
