ORDER XIL—RESEDACEE. DC. 
Calyx of 4—6 persistent sepals, or rotate and 5-toothed : sestivation 
open. Petals rarely none, usually as: many as and alternate with the 
segments of the calyx, furnished with broad claws, upper and lateral 
ones fringed or cleft : zstivation open. Stamens 2-4 times as many as 
the calycine segments: filaments more or less and variously united : 
anthers bilocular, erect, opening longitudinally. Torus very short, or 
resembling a stipes, bearing usually under the stamens an obtuse nec- 
tariferous scale. Carpels 3-6, each with 1 style, distinct, or united to- 
gether into a single ovarium. Fruit of 3-6 few-seeded follicles, de- 
hiscing internally ; or an unilocular polyspermous, 3-6 valved capsule, 
indehiscent except at the apex ; or fleshy, unilocular, aud polyspermous. 
Placentze parietal. Seeds somewhat pendulous; testa crustaceous. 
Albumen very thin, between fleshy and membranaceous. Embryo 
curved terete: radicle superior: cotyledons fleshy, semicylindrical.— 
Herbaceous plants, with alternate leaves ; stipules none, or represented 
by glands. Flowers on short pedicels.

Sepals 4-6. Petals 4-6, unequal. Stamens 10-24. Carpels 3-6, united 
into a 3-6 angled 1-celled capsule, opening at the apex, and crowned with 3-6 
styles. Placente alternate with the styles, bearing numerous seeds in a 
double row. Seeds with a dotted testa,

tire, often waved, margin scabrous: sepals 5 : petals all with a simple claw ex- 
panding into the 3-fid limb. Styles 4 or rarely 3, persistent, connivent at the 
apex : fruit erowded.—Spr. syst. 2. p. 464 ; Wight! cat. n. 955.—R. undata,

ORDER XIL—FLACOURTIANEJX. Rich. 
Sepals 4-7, cohering slightly at the base. Petals equal in number to, 
and alternate with, the sepals, sometimes wanting. Stamens hypogy- 
nous, equal in number to the petals or some multiple of them, occa- 
sionally changed into nectariferous scales. Ovary roundish, sessile or 
slightly stalked : style none, or filiform: stigmas several, more or less 
distinct. Fruit unilocular, containing a thin pulp, either fleshy and in- 
dehiscent, or capsular with 4—5 valves. Placentz parietal, branching 
over the inner surface of the valves. Seeds few, thick, often enveloped 
in a pellicle formed by the withered pulp. Albumen fleshy, somewhat 
oily. Embryo straight, in the axis of the albumen: radicle turned to-
