AD TLOBAM INDICAM (CBUCirEB^) . 135 



eroarginata. Stamina sepalis sequilonga; antheris linearibus, stra- 

 mineis. Ovarium lineare ; stigmate subcapitato. Siliqua longitudine 

 varia, 2-4", breve crasse pedicellata, recta v. lente curva. Valtcc #' 

 latae, rigidse, planiusculse. Replum tenue. Septum crassiusculum, 

 2-nerve, nervis crassis flexuosis. Semina numerosa, septo xquilata, 

 valde compressa, late membranaceo-alata, testa fusca. 

 Our specimens include M.fragrans, Bunge, which were rightly referred 

 by DeCandolle to this species, though again separated by Ledebour. 



There are several other species of Mathiola in Griffith's Affghan col- 

 lections, but in much too imperfect a state for determination ; one of these, 

 having narrower pods than M. odoratissima, resembles very closely the 

 M. Arabica, Boiss. ; a second has much broader pods, and shorter, more 

 thickened stigmata. 



M. tristis and M. incana are cultivated in Northern India.

Except in the winged seed, we can find no difference whatever between 

 this plant and the P. exscapa, a native of the Altai.
