Calyces

Each commences within the sinus of the corresponding kidney as a number of short cup-shaped tubes, termed calyces, which encircle the renal papillæ. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The ivory calyces are falling gently to the earth as the leaves emerge from the branch tips. ❋ Unknown (2010)

To brew, the general rule is to use one calyces per person. ❋ Haalo (2008)

These are dried Hibiscus calyces but depending on where you are, you might also know them as Sorrel, Jamaica, Roselle or Karkady. ❋ Haalo (2008)

The calyces of the kidneys were thick and dilated. ❋ M.D. Lewis Mebl-Madrona (1997)

The calyces also contain 17% oil with 26% albuminoids, providing high amounts of food energy. ❋ Unknown (1993)

Dialysis of the sepals in calyces that are usually gamosepalous has been most frequently observed in _Rosaceæ_, _Pomaceæ_, _Umbelliferæ_, less commonly in _Leguminosæ_, also in the following genera: -- _Primula_, ❋ Maxwell T. Masters (N/A)

Under normal circumstances it will be found that laminar venation is most common in gamosepalous and vaginal venation in polysepalous calyces. ❋ Maxwell T. Masters (N/A)

The floral leaves are rhomboidal, acuminate, and membraneous, the upper ones being shorter than the calyces, bracteas obovate; the calyces are bluish, nearly cylindrical, contracted toward the mouth, and ribbed with many veins. ❋ Various (N/A)

The calyces become charged with oil glands, and yield a greater abundance of volatile oil. ❋ Various (N/A)

The normal coloration of the calyx occurs most frequently in polysepalous calyces; teratological coloration, on the other hand, occurs especially in gamosepalous flowers. ❋ Maxwell T. Masters (N/A)

The whorls of bloom issue from half-globular arrangements of buds and persistent calyces; each flower is an inch long; corolla ringent, or gaping; helmet, or upper division, linear; the seed organs are longer; the calyx tubular, having five minute teeth, being striped and grooved; the whole head, or whorl, is supported by a leafy bract, the leaflets being of a pale green colour, tinted with red. ❋ John Wood (N/A)

As they fade the calyces become fleshy and much enlarged, and resemble the fruit of the hawthorn when ripe. ❋ John Wood (N/A)

The still is charged with 25 to 50 lb. of roses, not previously deprived of their calyces, and double the volume of spring water. ❋ Various (N/A)

-- The usual method of making it is, to gather the roses with their calyces, and put them into a still with nearly double their weight of pure spring water; which, when sufficiently distilled, will be highly scented with roses; this is then poured into shallow vessels and exposed to the nocturnal air. ❋ Various (N/A)

This proves a veritable feast for the forlorn remnant of wasps and butterflies, -- the year's end stragglers whose flower calyces have fallen and given place to swelling seeds. ❋ William Beebe (1919)

The diverticulum from the Wolffian duct grows dorsalward and forward along the posterior abdominal wall, where its blind extremity expands and subsequently divides into several buds, which form the rudiments of the pelvis and calyces of the kidney; by continued growth and subdivision it gives rise to the collecting tubules of the kidney. ❋ Unknown (1918)
