sident L. S. and F.R.S. a profound ornithologist.) Nutt. gen. 
amer. no. 166. D.C. syst. 2. p. 511. prod. 1. p. 200. 
Lin. syst. Tetradynamia, Siliqudsa. Silique roundish, stalk- 
ed above the torus. Seeds oblong, terete. Calyx spreading. 
Smooth glaucous erect herbs. Cauline leaves alternate, pinna- 
tifidly-lyrate or entire. Racemes elongated, terminal. Pedicels 
bractless, filiform. Flowers yellow. Habit nearly of Brassica 
on the one hand, and on the other to Cledme. 
1 S. prnnatrFipa (Nutt. gen. amer. 2. p. 71.) leaves interrup- 
tedly pinnatifid. 2. H. Native of Upper Louisiana at the junc- 
tion of Point-Creek and the Missouri among broken calcareous 
rocks. Cledme pinnata, Pursh. fl. amer. sept. 2. p. 739. Leaves 
thick, emulating those of a species of Brassica. Flowers yellow, 
nearly like those of a species of Cledme. The leaves of this 
species, from their analogy with Brassica, have been tried as an ali- 
ment, but after it has been cooked it becomes powerfully emetic.

America between Wateree and Longaree. Cleome levigata, Sol.

3 S. amprexicau’Lis (Nutt. in Sillim. amer. journ. 5. ann.

Stem-clasping-leaved Stanleya. Pl. 1 to 14 foot. 
Cult. The genus Stanleya grows most freely in peat or ve- 
getable soil. They will thrive in the open border in a rather 
shady situation. 8S. pinnatifida may be either increased by 
dividing the plant at the root or by seeds, and the other two 
species by seeds only.

characters), or NOTORHI’ZEE (see sub-order II.) -LATISE P- 
TÆ (latus broad and septum a dissepiment ; dissepiment broad.)

valves, and with an elliptical dissepiment in its greatest dia- 
meter (f. 46. 7.). Seeds ovate. Cotyledons flat, incumbent, con- 
trary to the dissepiment (f. 45. 7.). The dissepiment in several 
of the genera is incomplete, sometimes wanting altogether.

concave or flat valves; cells many-seeded. Style none. Seeds

with a mixture of sand loam and peat, which should be placed in 
a hot-bed until the month of May, when it may be planted out 
in front of a wall, or in any warm situation in the open border, 
where it will ripen its seed; but the plant is certainly not worth 
cultivating, except in botanic gardens.

entire, lanceolate. ©. H. Native throughout the whole of 
Europe in cultivated fields, chiefly among flax, with whose seeds 
it is often introduced from one country to another. It does not
