632 MONOECIA POLYANDRIA, Juglans. 
Young shoots clothed with minute, gold-coloured scales. 
Leaves alternate, sub-opposite, and abruptly pinnate, from 
six to twelve inches long. Leaflets from three to four, or _ 
from tive to thirteen, showt petioled| obliquely lanceolate, ob- 
tusely acuminate, entire, firm and smooth, from three to six 
inches long, by one or two broad, Peéioles round, when 
they first unfold, scaly like the other tender parts, Panicles 
axillary and terminal, shorter than the leaves; composed of 
many, filiform, simple male aments, and a few similar female 
ones,all are clothed with the minute yellow scales above men- 
tioned. Mare rowers. Scales of the ament solitary, one- 
flowered, scarcely to be distinguished from the pedicels, and 
clothed with the yellow scales just mentioned. Calyx four- 
leaved ; leaflets roundish, concave, and so much separated as 
to appear in some measure four corollets, Corol none. Fi- 
laments twelve, very short, inserted on the base of the leaflets 
of the calyx. Anthers large, two-lobed. FEMALE FLOWERS. 
Scales of the ament, and calyx as in the male, only larger and 
more distinct, both are permanent; the former increasing. 
Germ inferior, turbinate, covered with little yellow scales, 
one-celled, containing a single ovulutm, attached to the bot- 
tom of the cell. Style scarcely any. Stigma spread over the 
top of the germ, somewhat two-lobed, with the lobes rather 
lacerated. Nut round, very hairy, the size of a large pea, 
crowned with the permanent calyx, and resting in the en- 
larged scale of the ament, the three lobes of which are now 
increased into three long, lanceolate obtuse, scariose wings, 
the middle one of which, as in the germ, much larger, some-, 
times the inner margin of the scale is extended in the ripe 
state, into a two-lobed, short, broad wing, one-celled at top, 
which cell becomes four-lobed at bottom, (semi-q uadrilocu- 
lar,) two-valved; valves very hard, Seeds solitary, four- 
lobed. Integument single, thin, of alight brown. Peris- 
perm. conform to the seed, scanty, sebaceous. Embryo 
inverse. Cotyledons two, intricately folded up in the four 
lobes of the cell of the nut ; when vegetation has advanced s°
