 few and very lax, the few flowers remote, the pedicels Z-7 mm. long in fruit; calyx-lobes 

 narrowly spatulate, 3-5 mm. long; corolla whitish, 1.5-2 mm. long, conspicuously shorter than 

 the calyx, the lobes about 0.5 mm. long, oval; style about 0.3 mm. long, scarcely cleft; capsule 

 about 3 mm. long, ovoid to globose ; seeds about 10, ovoid, brown, 1 mm. long.

7. EMMENANTHE Benth. Trans. Linn, Soc. 17:281. 1835. 



Erect, hirsute, glandular-viscid, scented annuals from slender taproots. Leaves alter- 

 nate, short-petiolate or the upper sessile, pinnatifid. Flowers rather numerous in branched, 

 lax, 'scorpioid terminal cymes, pendulous, long-pedicellate. Calyx divided nearly to the 

 base, the lobes subequal. Corolla light yellow, withering-persistent and enclosing the cap- 

 sule, campanulate, longer than the calyx, shallowly lobed. Stamens included, subequal 

 and 'equally inserted on the base of the corolla-tube, the anthers oblong. Style included, 

 shortly 2-cleft. Mature capsule unilocular, partially divided by the intrusion of the 

 placentae, narrowly oblong, acute, flattened, loculicidally dehiscent. Ovules numerous, 

 pendulous, on the two prominent, linear placentae. Seeds oval, flattened, strongly reticu- 

 late. [Name Greek, meaning to abide and flower.]

 winged or clasping petiole; cymes numerous, the flowers on filiform pedicels, recurved and 

 usually 1 cm. long or longer in fruit; calyx-lobes ovate-lanceolate, 6-10 mm. long; corolla 

 8-12 mm. long, 6-10 mm. broad, the lobes orbicular, 1-2 mm. long ; style about 2 mm long, 

 the short lobes reflexed; capsule about 1 cm. long; seeds about 15, dark brown, 1.5-2.5 mm.

8. DRAPERIA Torr. ex A. Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. 7 : 401. 1868. 



Low, diffuse, perennial herbs from the horizontal, rooting branches of the woody root 

 crown. Leaves opposite, sessile or petiolate, the blades entire. Flowers in naked, terminal, 

 branched cymes, nearly sessile. Calyx divided nearly to the base. Corolla pale violet, 

 deciduous, tubular-funnelform, shallowly lobed, exceeding the calyx. Stamens included, 

 borne on the base of the corolla-tube, unequal and unequally inserted, the anthers oval. 

 Style included, filiform, 2-lobed at apex. Mature capsule bilocular, globose. Ovules a pair 

 in each locule, pendulous. Seeds 1-4, dark brown, ovoid, angular, alveolaJte. [Named in
