I-CO-SAN'DER, a. [Gr. εικοσι, twenty, and ανηρ, a male.]

In botany, a plant having twenty or more stamens inserted in the calyx. Linnaeus. Note. A writer on botany has suggested, that as the proper character of plants of this class is the insertion of the stamens in the calyx, it might be expedient to denominate the class Calycandria. Journ. of Science.
