HYDROPHYLLE. R. Brown. 
Calyx inferus, persistens, profunde 5-fidus, sinubus seepe appendiculis reflexis 
auctis. Corolla monopetala, hypogyna, regularis, breviter 5-fida, rotato- 
campanulata vel rarius subinfundibuliformis. Stamina 5, perigyna, lobis - 
corollae alternantia, zstivatione inflexa. Anthere versatiles, biloculares, 
loculis parallelis longitudinaliter dehiscentibus.. Ovarium superum, sim- 
plex, uniloculare. Stylus elongatus, bifidus. Stigmata 2, terminalia. Pla- 
cente 2 à dorso libere vel parietibus adnate, facie interiore 2—multi- 
ovulate. Fructus capsularis, bivalvatim dehiscens, nunc unilocularis, 
placentis maximis capsulam implentibus, nunc semidissepimentis vix 
completis subbilocularis. Semina extus reticulata. Albumen copiosum, 
cartilagineum. Embryo conica, radicula ad hilum spectante. 
Herbze americanze, more Borraginearum hispidee. Folia szepius lobata, alterna, 
vel inferiora opposita. Flores in racemis vel spicis unilateralibus scor- 
pioideo-circinnatis subdichotomis dispositi, vel rarius in axillis foliorum 
solitarii pedunculati. : 
I. Hypropuyitium. Linn. Gen. p. 83. 
Squame corolline 5, lineares, dorso adnate, apice marginibusque libere. Sta- 
mina longe exserta. Placente maxime, dorso libere, ovarium implentes, 
2-ovulate. | 
Folia radicalia numerosa; caulina pauca alterna lata pinnatim vel palmatim 
dissecta. Racemi scorpioideo-dichotomi ebracteati. 
1. H. APPENDICULATUM (Mich. Fl. Bor. Am. i. 134.), foliis infimis pinnatisectis, 
caulinis palmato-lobatis, racemis laxissimis, calycis hispidi sinubus reflexo- 
appendiculatis. 
Nemophila paniculata. Spreng. Syst. i. 569. 
Folia radicalia fere H. virginici, suprema iis H. canadensis similia. Pedicelli 
calyce fructifero fere duplo longiores. Calyx Nemophile. Habitus omnino 
Hydrophylli. (v. s. sp.) 
I have received this plant from Mr. Drummond, who gathered it in the 
Alleghanies.
