fruit, with winored seeds; and piniicate leaves, 

 with tendrils. In Catalpa the corolla has a 

 very short tube, and an unequal, five-lobed limb. 

 There are five stamens (only two of which are 

 fertile) ; and an exceeding long, cylindrical, 

 silique-shaped seed-pod, which is sometimes 

 two feet or more in length. The leaves of the 

 Catalpa are heart-shaped. In Jacaranda, the 

 capsule is above two feet long, and quite flat. 

 Crescentia cvjetey the calabash-tree, belongs to 

 this order. 



ORDER CXXXL— COB^ACE^. 



This order is restricted to one genus Cobaea, 

 of which one species (C. scandens) is common in 

 British gardens. This plant is an annual climber, 

 with showy bell-shaped flowers, which are first 

 green, and afterwards become purple. This 

 plant has remarkably long tendrils, which twist 

 themselves round any thing that comes in their 

 way. 



ORDERS CXXXII. AND CXXXIII.— PEDALINE^ AND 

 SESAMES. 



These orders are now united into one, under 

 the name of Pedalinese ; and the most interest- 

 ing genus is Martynia, consisting of half hardy 

 annual plants with bell-shaped flowers, and very 

 curious seed-pods.
