or globular tube of the corolla; oblong, wider above. . 
Corolla 5-cleft. Stamens 5. The partition of the Capsule 
adheres to the lower portion (after bursting.) Only one 
bractea visible at the base of each head of flowers; it is 
ovate, and of a red colour. Stem swelled and flattened 
in various parts, where tubercles are formed, which 
penetrate to a considerable depth the leaves of other 
plants; these tubercles have a concave surface, with a 
papillose margin: the radicle issuing from the centre. 
9. Gentiana Amarella—Anglesea, September 15, 1828. 
Gen. Cuar. Seeds not inserted into the inflexed margin of 
the valves, but near the margins, in four lines. Seeds 
quite spherical, and shining, chiefly consisting of albu- 
men. Embryo, very small, lateral. The fringe near the 
base of the segments of the corolla is a beautiful object 
under the lens, the rays tapering and covered with pro- 
minent dots. 
10. Gentiana campestris.—Scotland, J uly 24, 1827.—An- 
thers on the back of the compressed filaments, which are 
channelled along the inner side. Stem square, as also the 
flower-stalks.  Stem-leaves ovato-oblong, tapering above, 
minutely fringed, like the segments of the calyx; radical 
leaves spathulate. 
11. Torilis Anfhriscus.— September 11, 1826.—The “ in- 
curved bristles” of the fruit are tapering and acute, placed 
in rows, between which are three dark-green ribs (rather 
prominent) Calyzx-segments smooth, nearly equal. 
12. Torilis infesta.—Ormeshead, July 10, 1826.— General 
bracteas solitary. Fruit with rough spreading hooked bristles 
in rows, between which are three lines of close placed ones; 
the hooked extremities of the spreading bristles point up- 
wards, Styles bristly at the base, so that, at first, the bristles 
envelope the globose stigmas: styles also green, not red, 
reflexed, and subsequently elongated. Calyz-segments W0- 
equal, the two inner ones not distinct, outer ones fringed. 
Stamens short. Anthers white.
