TETRADYNAMIA— SILICULOSA. Cochlearia. 177 



prostrate j but its general 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 slightly toothed. Fl. white or 

 faintly tinged with purple, often very little different from the 

 first species, though frequently larger. The pouches afford a 

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

 cal, no\ globose, strongly marked with abundance of prominent 

 reticulated veins, and tipped with a much more elongated style. 

 Seeds large, oval, 4 or .3 in each cell.

Annual. May, June. 



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

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

 on longer of shorter footstalks, uniform, three-lobed, entire • 

 heart-s'haped at the base ; resembling Ivy, or Anemone Hepalica, 

 in miniature. Fl. small, i)ure 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 unrhanoed by cultiva- 

 tion, except becoming somewhat branched from luxuriance, but 

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

 (o, found by Dr. Hooker on the (iiant's C^auseway, whose radi- 

 cal /rr/rr.v are described as kidney-shaped, those on the stem very 

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

 to belong to C. anLiUcu, in a starved stale. 



5. C. Armornna. Ilorse-radi.'.li. 



Radical leaves oblonjr, crenate ; those of the stem lanceo^ 

 late, either cut «>r entire.
