Capsule siliquose, many-seeded. ‘ | 
Caulescent, rarely stemless; leaves multipartite, some- 
times imperfecily bipinnate or biternate, the rachis not un- 
frequently terminated by tendrils; flowers in terminal ra- 
cemes; corolla with 1 or 2 calcarate nectaries at the base, 
Srecres. 1. C. Cucullaria. Ox. Calix unequal, 4- 
Teaved, leaves decussated, 2 of them linear and acumi- 
nate, the 2 others appressed to the corolla, ovate, acumi- 
nate. Petals 2, saccate at the base, limb hooded and re- 
fiected, filaments 6, distinct, 3 arising from each petal, 
‘ventral filament calearate at the base. Thalamus connate 
above, partly panduriform, dorsally crested, hollow and 4 
impervious, with rugose folds. Capsule lanceolate-ovate, ] 
many-seeded. Stigma compressed, somewhat reniform. 
Root a granulated scaly bulb, a bulbous enlargement pro- - 
duced at the base of each leaf, finely spotted with red; 
leaves radical, ternate, partitions subbiternately divided, 
ultimate segments incisely toothed, roundish at the extre- i 
mity, with a short setaceous point; raceme secund, flow- 
ers nodding, white with a yellowish limb; bractes obvallate, 
> short and acuminate Mr. Bosk proposed this plant as a 
+ distinct genus under the name of Diclytra. Mr. Pursh af- | 
terwards proposes another name intended to include the 
first section of this genus with bicalcarate flowers; it does 
not, however, prove to be natural, as there is almost a dif- 
ferent structure in each individual; for instance, C. formosa 
= and C. fungosa ois eer in having 2 trianthe- 
_ tiferous filaments, notwithstanding this discrepancy, the 
habit of C. formosa and C. spectabilis is too similar tu that 
of C. Cucullaria ever to admit of any =. 2. Fen
