  Morphon \Mor"phon\, n. [Gr. ?, p. pr. of ? to form.] (Biol.)
     A morphological individual, characterized by definiteness of
     form, in distinction from {bion}, a physiological individual.

     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. {Personae}
           (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}.
