"Vestaes, the virgin priestesses of Vesta, who ministered in her temple and watched the eternal fire. Their existence at Alba Longa is connected with the earliest Roman traditions, for silva the mother of Romulus was a member of the sisterhood; their establishment in the city, in common with almost all other matters connected with state religion, is generally ascribed to Numa, who selected four, two from the Titienses and two from the Rames; and two more were subsequently added from the Luceres, by Tarquinius Priscus according to one authority, by Servius Tullius according to another. This number of six remained unchanged to the latest times." &mdash Smith; 1873

This illustration shows a diagram of the life history of Ricciocarpus. The upper portion of the figure represents the sexual generation and the lower portion, the asexual. The former generation begins with the formation of the spores, sp, from the mother-cell and ends with the formation of the gametes, g. The asexual generation begins with the gametospore, gm, and ends with the spore mother cells, sm.

The principal feature is the suppression of the direct channel of the sap, and the substitution of for or more commonly two mother branches, so laid to the wall that the central angle contains about 90 degrees. The other branches are all treated as subordinate members. This form is open to the objection that, if the under branch should die, the upper one cannot be brought down into its place." &mdash; Encyclopedia Britannica, 1893
