*The entire capsule of Ceanothus Am. when ripe, about the first of November or 

 before, springs from the receptacle or disk by the simultaneous splitting of each of 

 the three carpels; the latter diverging fly to a distance of three or four feet, and at 

 the same time scatter their seeds. The manner in which each carpel is ruptured, 

 though peculiar, is constantly uniform: it is cleft in the middle from base upwards 

 for half its length, while each lobe near the outer edge is slit downward into a nar- 

 row wing or elater, and both movements are necessary to set free and discharge the 

 polished-surface seeds. The scattered carpels have a strong resemblance to the yel- 

 lowish wing-covers of a diminutive beetle.
