among which are a number of lone purple white-tipped spreading 
bristles, rarely nearly glabrous. Leaves subsessile, membranous, 4—5 in. 
long, ? in. broad, lanceolate, tapering at the base, acute at the apex, 
irregularly glandulose-serrate, entire at the apex, 1-nerved, neatly 
glabrous, or with a few scattered white hairs, sometimes pinnately lobed. 
Flower-stalks axillary, slender, glabrous or nearly so, about the length 
of the adjacent leaf, bearing at the extremity 5 or more flowers in a 
dense 1-sided racemose cyme. Bracts lanceolate, shorter than the 
flowers, Flower-buds roundish, ultimately oblong, club-shaped. Calyx 
fin. long; tube cylindrical-clavate, covered with white hairs, limb 
divided into 5 short triangular teeth. Petals exceeding the calyx, 
yellow, linear-spathulate with very long narrow stalks attached to the 
tube of the Hower below the middle. Stamens 5, of unequal length ; 
filaments free, ribbon-like, included, attached to the base of the calyx- 
tube. Pods 2 in. long, slender, cylindrical or beaded, loculicidally 
3-valved, valves striated, smooth, bearing the seeds on the centre. 
Seeds numerous, oblong or flask-shaped, straight or curved, with a 
white membranous 1-sided arillus at the base ; testa crustaceous, pitted, 
yellow or black.— W. diversifolia, Rich. Fl. Seneg. i. 36, t. 11; Raphanus

A species that varies much in stature, texture, and hairiness. Even the colour of 
the seeds is different in different pods on the same plant. *Klotzsch’s W. tanacetifolia, 
of which I haye not seen specimens, is doubtfully reterred to this species.

A branched herb or undershrub, the branches covered with blackish 
spreading hairs. Leaves membranous, hispid, about 3 in. in length, 
oblong ovate or lanceolate, tapering at the base into a short stalk, 
doubly serrate, serratures sharply pointed, gehiee Flower-stalks 
axillary, hispid, about the length of the leaves, bearing at the extremity 
a cluster of Howers, Calyx tubular, dilated in the middle ; sepals acute, 
hispid. Petals obovate, wedge-shaped at the base and tapering into a 
ong narrow claw, hairy at the junction between the claw and the blade. 
Ovary cylindrical, downy. Capsules cylindrical, pod-like, beaded, 3- 
valved, valves downy. Seeds oblong, orange-yellow, pitted.
