CX. RHYNCHOGLO'SSUM (from pvyxoc, rhynchos, a beak ; 
and yAwooa, glossa, a tongue.) Blum. bijdr. p. 741. 
Lin. syst. Didyndmia, Angiospérmia. Calyx bilabiate : upper 
lip trifid: lower one bifid. Corolla ringent: upper lip bifid, 
reflexed : lower lip larger and semi-trifid : middle segment the 
largest; throat bicallous. Stamens 4, almost inclosed, 2 of 
these sterile, and very small; anthers connected. Stigma ob- 
tuse. Capsule beaked, 1-celled, 2-valved ; dissepiment double, 
incomplete, contrary to the valves; valves inflexed on both 
sides, and placentiferous.—A much branched, rather downy 
herb. Leaves alternate, (one being supra-axillary, and stipule- 
formed,) oblong, very oblique. Raceme terminal, drooping ; 
pedicels secund. Said by Blum. to be nearly allied to Gerárdia. 
1 R. ostrevuum (Blum. J. c.) %. S. Native of Java, on 
the Seribu mountains.—Rheed. mal. 9. t. 80. 
Oblique-leaved Rhynchoglossum. Pl. 2 to 3 feet. 
Cult. For culture and propagation see Angelonia, p. 609. 
Orper CLXX. RHINANTHA'CEJE (this order contains 
plants agreeing with the genus Ahindnthus in the charac- 
ters given below.) D. C. fl. fr. 3. p. 454. D. Don. in edinb. 
phil. journ. vol. 33. p. 112. July 1835. Melampyracee 
Richard. Pediculares part, Juss. gen. p. 99. ed. Usteri. p. 111. 
Calyx tubular, 4-5-cleft, permanent. Corolla tubular, hypo- 
gynous, deciduous, irregular, imbricate in estivation; upper 
lip usually galeate. Stamens 4, didynamous, all fertile; anthers 
spurred at the base. Ovarium 2-celled. Stigma undivided. 
Capsule 2-celled, 2-4-valved, many-seeded. Testa of seeds 
membranous. Albumen copious, fleshy. Embryo inverted, 
terete ; radicle centrifugal, remote from the umbilicus.—Usu- 
ally humble, herbaceous, rarely suffruticose plants, natives of 
Europe, Asia, and North America. Leaves usually opposite, 
and pinnatifid. Flowers terminal, spicate, bracteate. This is 
intimately allied to the preceding order, but is satisfactorily 
distinguished by its inverted embryo, with the radicle directed 
to the opposite extremity of the seed. The tribe Euphrasite 
of Scrophularinee have been included by most botanists in this 
family, and were they to be retained, the separation between it 
and the preceding order would be impossible. Cymbdria differs 
from the rest of the genera in the very considerable degree of 
developement of its embryo.

flated. Upper lip of corolla galeate. Seeds few, girded by the 
membranous wing,— Alectorólophus, Stev.

lip of corolla galeate, elongated, usually incurved. Seeds girded 
by a membrane. 
4 MzrawPvRvuM. Galea of corolla compressed, with repli- 
cate lobes. Seeds large, wingless, one in each cell.

Lin. syst. Didynàmia, Angiospérmia. Calyx compressed, 
membranous, inflated, 4-toothed. Superior lip of corolla gale- 
ate, compressed, bidentate at apex: lower one spreading, 3- 
lobed. Anthers bipartite, mutic, villous. Capsule 2-celled,

1 R. Crisra-ca’tx1 (Lin. spec. p. 840.) stem slightly branch- 
ed; leaves lanceolate, serrated ; calyx smooth ; style inclosed ; 
seeds with a dilated, membranous border. (2. H. Native of

92.f. 3. Stem branched, qua- 
drangular. Calyx greenish yel- 
low; segments of the upper lip 
short, bluish. The plant has 
the name of yellow-rattle from 
the yellow flowers and rattling 
of the seeds in the capsule when 
ripe; and for the same reason 
it is called rattle-boxes in Ire- 
land. It is known in some 
counties by the name of Penny- 
grass, and in Yorkshire by that 
of Henpenny, from the shape 
and size of the seed-vessels, like -
