closed, sometimes 2 of which are sterile; cells of anthers di- 
verging, distinct at apex. Stigma usually bilamellate. Capsule 
often membranous, rarely subunilocular. Dissepiment mem- 
branous, formed by the inflexed margins of the valves ; pla- 
centas spongy, at length free. Seeds with a somewhat crusta- 
ceous testa. Albumen fleshy. Embryo almost the length of 
the seed. Herbs, rarely under-shrubs, natives of the temperate 
parts of the globe; or in marshy places within the tropics.

Glabrous herbs, with opposite leaves, and axillary, usually bi-

Leaves decussate, 3-5-nerved, sometimes entire.  Corollas 
whitish or pale yellow, striated with purple. Fertile filaments 
bearded. Calyx often 7-cleft. Capsule ovate, acuminated. The 
whole plant has a strong, bitter, nauseous taste, and is much 
recommended by several eminent medical writers in cases 0 
dropsy. It is a powerful cathartic, but is said generally to 
occasion vomiting. On account of its bitterness cattle reject Iti 
insomuch that Haller assures us that there are meadows about 
Yverdun entirely useless from the abundance of it.
