Stipulaceous Gillenia. Fl. Ju. Aug. Clt. 1805. PI. 1 to 1^ ft. 



Cult, The species of Gillenia are elegant plants, and there- 

 fore are worth cultivating in every collection of hardy herba- 



in the middle of the calycine lobes, and the other 5 in the throat 

 of the calyx. 



3 Vauqueli'nia. Calyx 5-cleft. Petals 5. Stamens 15- 

 20, exserted with the petals from the throat of the calyx. 



4 LindleVa. Calyx 5-cleft. Petals 5. Stamens 15-SO, in- 



ceous plants. They grow best in a peat border, and are readily serted in the disk in the throat of the calyx. Carpels 5, corina(e

 1-celled, opening at the side, containing 8-12 seeds, which are

suture. Spermaderm testaceous. Embryo albuminous, with calycine lobes ; the rest by pairs opposite the calycine lobes; 



leafy cotyledons and a short centripetal radicle. — A sarmentose, filaments dilated at the base. Anthers cordate, oblong. Stigmas

acuminated, 3-lobed, deeply serrated, bistipulate leaves. Flowers 

 unibracteate, disposed in terminal racemose panicles. This 

 genus apparently approaches the Netllta.

the calyx. The habit of the plants composing this order is like-
