   Note: Of morphons there are six orders or categories: 1.
         Plastids or elementary organisms. 2. Organs,
         homoplastic or heteroplastic. 3. Antimeres (opposite or
         symmetrical or homotypic parts). 4. Metameres
         (successive or homodynamous parts). 5. Person[ae]
         (shoots or buds of plants, individuals in the narrowest
         sense among the higher animals). 6. Corms (stocks or
         colonies). For orders 2, 3, and 4 the term idorgan has
         been recently substituted. See {Idorgan}.
