nonyms. 
mum arvénse, Thor. chlor. land. 284. 
is a very polymorphous plant. 
Var. B, Sinapis recurvata (All. ped. no. 963. t. 37.) Perhaps 
this plant is specifically distinct from the calyx, being more 
loose, and the beak of the pod rougher. Native of Piedmont 
and Mauritania on hills in exposed situations.

Sinapis radicata, Desf. fl. atl. 2. p. 98. t. 
167. Smith, fl. graec. t. 648. Flowers pale-yellow. This is a

Secr. III. Micropopium (from puxpoc, mikros, small, and 
mouc, pous, a foot; in allusion to the siliques being seated on 
short pedicels.) Silique elevated above the receptacle on a 
short pedicle, terminated by the short slender style, which is 
tipped by a capitate stigma. Allied to Diplotaxis, but there is 
` only one row of seeds in each cell.

lower ones  sinuately-pinnatifid, hispid, upper ones smooth, 
toothed; stem smooth. ¢.H. Native of Transylvania, Hun- 
gary, Tauria, and Caucasus, on sandy hills, and by way-sides in 
sterile places. Waldst. et Kit. hung. 1. p. 26. t. 28.  Sinapis 
laevigata, Pall. ined. taur. Habl. p. 164. This species is truly 
difficult to class as the calyx is not closed as in Brassica, nor is 
it loose as in Sinapis. Flowers yellow. This species is culti- 
vated in Hungary for the sake of expressed oil of the seeds. The 
cultivation of Sindpis nigra will answer well for this plant. 
Elongated-racemed Cabbage. Fl. June, Oct. Cit. 1817. PI.

+ Species not sufficiently known. 
36 B. suntas (D.C. syst. 2. p. 606.) &? H. Native 
probably of the Levant. This plant has been confused with the 
true Binias orientale, Lin. and is mixed with it in his herba- 
rium, but it differs from that plant in the young pods being 
terete, slender, and smooth, terminated by a filiform style, adult 
ones oblong, crowned by a seedless conical beak. Bunias foliis 
retrorsùm sinuatis, Lin. hort. ups. 186. The terminal lobe of 
the leaf is very large, and the lateral ones incline backwards ; 
the cauline ones are small and entire. Racemes panicled and 
elongated.
