CENTURIA X. 57 



Peru. Although the capsule is quite like Ve- 

 ronica, the extra number of stamens render it a 

 doubtful Gr. of the family. 



AH the Genera of capsular peripetal flowers 

 with 2 stamens ought perhaps to form a pecu- 

 liar order ARINEMIA, and then the families 



VeRONICOIDES, JuSTICOIDI;S, lilLACINES (Slc, 



should belong to it, as well as GRATioLiDESwith 

 unilocular capsules — Clytiirelia Raf. 1815 

 with spurs, types Finguicula and Utricularia — 

 Calceolides, types Calceolaria, Baeola, Jove- 

 lana, Pederota, Wulfenia &c. This would be 

 a very distinct natural order, although some 

 may contend that as in Labiates, 2 or 4 sta- 

 mens are not essential, why not as much as 

 valves and placentas ?

 — Limosella silesiaca and capensis having two 

 stamens are probably 2 other sp. but if they 

 have the calix 5fid as in Limosella, they must 

 form a subg. or G. Mtitafmia Raf This with 

 the next G. is of family Gratiolides. Limo- 

 sella with 4 stamens and cal. 5fid, was wrongly 

 put among Lysimachides by Jussieu, it must 

 belong with IJesleria, Maturea and many G, 

 akin to Gratiohi byuniloc. capsule, to the family 

 of Mesofiiores, that have 4 unequal stamens.
