228 CI. CONVOLVULACEEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Cuscuta. 
Seeds more fimbriate than in C. europea. Styles (in Engelmann's named examples of 
C. planiflora) short, less than half as long as the stigmas. C. brevistyla is not 
merely “too near" C. planiflora as both Engelmann and Boissier suggest; 1t is the 
same thing. 
Oxprr CIL SOLANACEZE. (By C. B. Clarke.) 
Herbs or shrubs. eaves alternate, often in unequal pairs, rarely clustered, 
never opposite ; entire, lobed or pinnate; stipules 0. Cymes lateral, or terminal, 
axillary or extra-axillary, or pedicels solitary or clustered ; bracts and bracteoles 
0. Flowers regular, hermaphrodite (in Withania coagulans dicecious). Calyx 
inferior, 5-, rarely 3-7-merous, in Micandra 5-partite; in fruit usually per- 
sistent, often much enlarged. Corolla funnel-shaped campanulate, or rotate, 
often plaited ; lobes 5 (in Datura sometimes 10), or limb subentire. Stamens 
5, on the corolla-tube ; anthers ovate or oblong, dehiscing by apical pores Or 
longitudinally. Ovary 2-celled, or imperfectly 1- or 4-celled, in Nicandra 3-5- 
celled ; style linear, stigma capitate or very shortly lobed ; ovules very many, 
on prominent peltate placentas. Fruit baccate or capsular, indehiscent circum- 
sciss or valvular, usually 2-celled, many-seeded. Seeds compressed, discoid or 
subreniform, embryo peripheric; or (in Nicotiana) seeds scarcely compressed, 
embryo straight.—Species 1250 in the warmer parts of the whole world.
