 lesc. fol. tritern. fl. panicul — Ep. alpimim. 

 foliolis cordatis dentatis, fl. panic, purpure-fla- 

 vis, sepalis emarg. Alpis. Thus these 3 G. altho' 

 all belonging to Berberides, agree in nothing 

 but the fruit; the opposite stamens with rolling 

 valves of the anthers are common to the whole 

 tribe. 



190. Gypsophila L. auct. Lanaria Ad. Cal. 

 camp. 5dent. 5ang. nudum, petalis 5 obovatis 

 subsessilis non unguicul. Stam. 10 subeq. hypo- 

 gynis. Ovar. sessile ovato, Styli 2. Caps, mono- 

 loc. semi 4 valvis, polysperma, Sem. centralis 

 non alatis — This is the strict essential character, 

 which applies to many Sp. in 3 sub-G. Vacca- 

 RiA petalis emarg. G. vaccaria, repens, cretica 

 graminea Slc. 2. Gypsaria petaHs crenatis re- 

 ticul. G. muralis &/C. — 3 Aploma petalis inte- 

 gris. G. stTTuthium, fastigiata^ perfoliata (fee. 

 Auctoris. Sir J. Smith has united to this G. 

 Saponaria vaccaria., cretica^ illyrica^ wonder- 

 ing how L. could put them elsewhere, their ca- 

 lix is Sangular, but they must be examined 

 again as to stamens, capsule, seeds, &c. 



191. Arrostia (Arrostobot) Raf car. G. 53 

 in 1810. DifT. Cal. camp. prof. Sfidus, non an- 

 gulatus. Stam. 10 eq. Caps, globosa bivalvis 

 oligosp. Sem. obi. alatis — I justly separated this 

 G. long ago: the Gypsoph paniculata and al- 

 tissima may belong to it ; but the type was my 

 next N. Sp. 



192. Arrostia dichotoma Raf. car. 189.
