TETRADYNAMIA— SILICULOSA. Cochlearia. 177 



prostrate ; but its genera size is scarcely half that of the Com- 

 mon Scurvy-grass. The stem-leaves are narrower, often almost 

 entire } radical ones much smaller in proportion to the rest, 

 ovate, entire, rarely wavy, or sliglitly toothed. Fl. white or 

 faintly tinged with'purple, often very little difterent from the 

 first species, though frequently larger. The pouches afford a 

 striking and essential distinction, being twice as large, ellipti- 

 cal, not globose, strongly marked with abundance of prominent 

 reticulated veins, and tipped with a much more elongated st'jle. 

 Seeds large, oval, 4 or 5 in each cell. 



4. C. danica. Danish Scurvy-grass.

Annual. May, June. 



Smaller than the last. Stems several, 3 or 4 inches long, spread- 

 ing, or prostrate, seldom divided, leafy throughout. Leaves all 

 on longer or shorter footstalks, uniform, three-lobed, entire j 

 heart-shaped at the base 3 resembling Ivy, or Anemone Hepatica, 

 in miniature. Fl. small, pure white. Pouches in rather lax, but 

 shortish, clusters, elliptical, most like those of C. anglica, though 

 smaller, and less strongly veined, with a shorter style. Seeds 

 6 in each cell. 



Certainly quite distinct from the last, and unchanged by cultiva- 

 tion, except becoming somewhat branched from luxuriance, but 

 the foliage never alters. I have not seen DeCandolle's variety 

 |S, found by Dr. Hooker on the Giant's Causeway, whose radi- 

 cal leaves are described as kidney-shaped, those on the stem very 

 few, and all undivided. By the description it should seem rather 

 to belong to C, anglica, in a starved state. 



.5. C. Annoracia. Horse-radish. 

 Radical leaves oblong, crenate ; those of the stem lanceO' 

 late, either cut or entire.
