100 SCROPHULARIiE. [CI. 8. 



Westrmgia Sm., which turns out to be a conside- 

 rable New Holland genus, belongs to Sect. 3d. 



Ord. 40. Scrophulari^e. " Calyx divided, often 

 permanent. Corolla often irregular, with a divided 

 limb. Stamens 4, didynamous, rarely but 2. Style 1. 

 Stigma simple or cloven. Fruit capsular, of 2 cells, 

 and 2, more or less deeply separated, valves, (which 

 are now and then cloven,) naked and concave within; 

 the Receptacle central, bordered, bearing Seeds, ge- 

 nerally numerous and minute, on both sides, and 

 serving as a partition, meeting the inflexed edges of 

 the valves. Stem herbaceous, rarely shrubby. Leaves 

 opposite or alternate, seldom compound. Flowers 

 bracteated." 



Buddleia, Scoparia, Scrophularia, Gerardia, An- 

 tirrhinum, fig. 175, Hemimeris, Digitalis, and some 

 others, give the true idea of this Order. Calceolaria, 

 Wulfenia, and Commerson's Ba?a, are the diandrous 

 genera. 



There are two Sections of numerous genera, one 

 with opposite, the other alternate, Leaves, marked as 

 "akin to Scrophular ice." Among the first are Colum- 

 nea, Besleria, Gratiola, Lindernia, Mimulus; those 

 with alternate Leaves being Schwalbea, Schwenkia, 

 and Browallia. 



Mr. Brown brings hither some of the 35th Order, 

 as Veronica, fig. 2, (certainly with great propriety,) 

 including Jussieu's Hebe. He reckons Gratiola one 

 of the true Scrophularia, as well as Euphrasia, part
