The leaves of this plant are sometimes interruptedly pinnate, the 
intermediate leaflets much smaller than the others, and of a dif- 
ferent form and more upright. The flowers are said to have 3- 
4-5 styles; the petals are white and the anthers are yellow. 
Capsules large.

23 R. prorrnaua (R. Br. in append. to Clapp. and Denh. 
trav.) this species comes near to R. unddta. It is remarkable 
in having the claws of all the petals simple; that is, neither 
dilated or thickened, nor having any process or appendage at the 
point or union, with a trifid lamina, into which they gradually 
pass. (R. Br. l.c.) ©? H. Native near Tripoli and between 
Tripoli and Mourzuk. Dr. Oudney. ‘The remarkable structure 
of the petals we think will be found in R. dlba, undata, and 
many others.

24 R.a’xBa (Lin. spec. 645.) leaves all pinnatifid ; segments lan- 
ceolate, smooth, rarely waved ; racemes dense ; calyx 5-6-parted ; 
petals 3-lobed ; capsules 4-horned. ¢.H. Native of the south 
of Europe and north of Africa. R. fruticuldsa, Jacq. icon. rar. 
3.t. 474. The leaves are sometimes interruptedly pinnate, with 
the intermediate ones smallest. Flowers in dense spikes, with 
white petals and brownish anthers.—Lob. icon. 222. In the 
Fl. gree. R. álba is figured with quinquefid petals ; we doubt 
the correctness of this.

parted; petals 3-lobed; capsules 4-horned, with the horns 
recurved. h. %.H. Native of Spain and Sicily. The racemes 
are rather slender. The petals are white, and the anthers yel-

only varieties.

Cult. The seeds of these plants only require to be sown in 
the open ground, and the plants afterwards treated as other 
hardy annuals and biennials. The suffruticose species require 
shelter during winter; these are either propagated by seeds or 
cuttings.
