Very similar in habit to the preceding, but a distinct species. The whole plant is 
hirsute ; the leaves sinuato-pinnatifid, particularly at the base, 1 inch long ; the pe- 
dicels are not very short, as indicated by Thunberg, but 4--6 lines long, at the base 
with 3 lanceolate or linear bractew, Raceme 4-8 flowers ; the calyx-lobes ciliated 
but not serrate ; corolla 2-labiate, petals lanceolate ; anthers hirsute. Capsule as 
in C. Phytewma ; the upper part longer than the tube, splitting in 4 (or in 2, 
at length bipartite) valves. Seeds compressed, flat, broadly winged, orbicular, ‘2 
lines in diameter ; wings thin, scarious, nearly as wide as the elliptical body of the 
seed. Embryo straight, lying in the middle of fleshy albumen ; radicle next the hilum. 
3. C, Cardamines (Willd. Spec. 1, p.953); perennial ; stem simple, 
erect, sulcate, hirsute, naked ; leaves petiolated, pinnatifid or pinnate ; 
leaflets ovate, toothed or 2—3 lobed, pilose ; flowers racemose, pedicels 
as long or longer than the bractez, subhirsute as well as the calyx with 
erect, linear-lanceolate lobes ; corolla 3-4 times longer than the calyx- 
lobes. DC. 1. ¢., H. § Z. 2425. Lobelia Cardamines, Thunb.! Fl. Cap.

Probably a variety of C. incisa, with more rigid leaves. Petioles 1} inch, nar- 
row, as long or longer than the limb, with 3-lobed terminal lobes and toothed or 
lobed lateral ents. Raceme 4—6-flowered ; pedicels 4-2 lines long. Corolla and 
anthers as in the preceding ; capsule a little broader, the seeds quite the same. 
3. C. persicifolia (Presl ! comm. pl. Drege, p. 296) ; perennial, gla- 
brous ; stem erect, simple, angulate-striate, leafy ; leaves sessile, linear- 
lanceolate, subacute, remotely serrulated, with revolute margins ; upper 
ones much smaller, subappressed ; flowers subspicate ; pedicels shorter 
than the lanceolate bractez, calyx-lobes linear-lanceolate, serrate, erect, 
longer than the tube, 4 times shorter than the corolla; anthers gla- 
brous. DC. 1. ¢., Harv. Thes.cap.t. 159.

Sian ska feet high. Leaves 2-3 inches long, about two lines wide, uninerved, 
the upper 8-4 lines long, } line wide. Spike 4-6 inches, sometimes branched at the 
base, many-flowered,' pedicels 3-1 line long. Flowers 3-inch, incurved. Corolla 
bilabiate, petals free. Filaments hairy at apex. Ovary half superior. Stigma obtuse, 
5. C. campestris (E & Z.! 2438); glabrous; stem erect, terete, striate, 
branched at the base ; branches divergent ; leaves sessile, linear, nar- 
row, remotely denticulate and entire ; racemes flexuous; pedicels one 
half longer than the ovato-acuminate, entire or 3-lobed bractea, bibrac- 
teolate at the apex ; calyx-lobes triangular, acute, erect, longer than 
the very short turbinate tube. C. linarioides Presl! Comm. pl. Drege,
