margin quite entire or obscurely angled, narrow at the 
base and subpetiolate ; the lowermost ones decidedly so 
and spathulate. Racemes axillary and terminal, elongated. 
Flowers remote, bright yellow. Pedicels scabrous, with 
short, stellated hairs, considerably elongated after flower- 
ing. Calyx of four linear-lanceolate, appressed, glabrous 
leaves. Petals obcordate, scarcely clawed, very patent. 
Germen elliptical, stipitate, shorter than the style: Stigma 
capitate. When the fruit is ripe, the pedicels are almost 
horizontal, curved upwards at the extremity, and bearing 
the erect, exactly globose pedicellate szlicula, or pouch, 
which is smooth and shining, membranous, and not larger 
than hemp seed. The fully-ripe fruit does not readily 
separate into valves Cells two, each containing about 
four, depressed, dark brown seeds.
