1. A vegetable; an organized living being, generally without

Note: Plants are divided by their structure and methods of
reproduction into two series, ph[ae]nogamous or
flowering plants, which have true flowers and seeds,
and cryptogamous or flowerless plants, which have no
flowers, and reproduce by minute one-celled spores. In
both series are minute and simple forms and others of
great size and complexity.
[1913 Webster] As to their mode of nutrition, plants
may be considered as self-supporting and dependent.
Self-supporting plants always contain chlorophyll, and
subsist on air and moisture and the matter dissolved in
moisture, and as a general rule they excrete oxygen,
and use the carbonic acid to combine with water and
form the material for their tissues. Dependent plants
comprise all fungi and many flowering plants of a
parasitic or saprophytic nature. As a rule, they have
no chlorophyll, and subsist mainly or wholly on matter
already organized, thus utilizing carbon compounds
already existing, and not excreting oxygen. But there
are plants which are partly dependent and partly
self-supporting.
[1913 Webster] The movements of climbing plants, of
some insectivorous plants, of leaves, stamens, or
pistils in certain plants, and the ciliary motion of
zoospores, etc., may be considered a kind of voluntary
motion.

was restricted to the most atrocious crimes, the
criminal was first laid on a frame of wood in the form
of a St. Andrew's cross, with grooves cut transversely
in it above and below the knees and elbows, and the
executioner struck eight blows with an iron bar, so as
to break the limbs in those places, sometimes finishing
by two or three blows on the chest or stomach, which
usually put an end to the life of the criminal, and
were hence called coups-de-grace -- blows of mercy. The
criminal was then unbound, and laid on a small wheel,
with his face upward, and his arms and legs doubled
under him, there to expire, if he had survived the
previous treatment. --Brande.
