36. PICRORHIZA, Royle. 
A low more or less hairy herb, with perennial woody bitter stock. Leaves 
subradical, spathulate, serrate. Flowers spicate on radical leafy flowering 
stems, bracteate, ebracteolate, white or blueish, dimorphic (a longer and shorter 
stamened form). Sepals 5, lanceolate, imbricate in bud. Corolla of the long 
stamened form short, membranous, subequally 5-cleft to the middle; lobes 
ovate, acuminate, ciliate; of the shorter stamened, corolla-tube curved, 
broad; limb 2-lipped, upper lip longer subgaleate emarginate, lower of 3 
shorter ovate acute lobes, the middle one smallest. Stamens 4, filaments 10 
the longer stamened very slender, four times as long as the corolla; of the 
shorter stamened stout, 2 upper shorter than the upper lip of the corolla, 
with the anthers under the hood, 2 lower exserted; anther-cells subdivergent 
confluent at the tip. Ovary 2-celled, many-ovuled; style of the long 
stamened long and slender, stigma simple; of the shorter stamened stouter 
and shorter, stigma capitate exserted. Capsule ovoid, turgid, acute, septi- 
cidal and loculicidal, margins of the valves inflexed, exposing the columnar 
placentiferous axis. Seeds of an oblong curved nucleus, enclosed in the 
large bladdery loose hyaline reticulated testa. 
I have described this plant as dimorphic with some hesitation, the pistil and stamens 
being in both forms so fully developed, though in so far as I have seen the anthers 
of the short stamened have very scanty and irregularly formed pollen, whilst those of 
the long stamened have copious pollen. Both forms seem to ripen fruit abundantly.
