98. SCROPHULARIACE.^. [14. Tokenia. 



L. gratioloides and forms of L. heterophylla wanting the lower capillary leaves. 

 When creeping on mud the lowest leaves only are pinnatifld with linear segments, 

 the uppermost serrate or quite entire and 3-nerved and resembling somewhat those 

 of L. hirgufa. Calyx •2-'25" with linear or lanceolate acuminate lohes, in fruit 

 liemispheric membranous not striate with lobes becoming ovate long-acuminate. 



10. L. heterophylla, Benth. 



A larger plant than the last with glabrous stems and with nvimerous 

 leaves beloAv cut into many capillary segments, intermediate leaves 

 4-6 in a whorl pinnatifid, and iippermost usually opposite (sometimes 

 also alternate) small sessile half-amplexicaul oblong crenulate. 

 Flowers similar to the last, but more often spicate, sessile or subsessile. 

 Calyx •12-"15", in fruit hemispheric membranoiis, not striate^ and 

 lobes ovate more shortly aciiminate than in the last. Capsule broadly 

 ellipsoid.

 2 lower conniving under the upper lip and appendaged at base, anthers 

 conniving or cohering in pairs, cells often confluent. Stigma 2-lamel- 

 iate. Capsule linear or oblong, included, septicidal, valves separating 

 from the placentif erous axis. Seeds many rugose.

 '7-1" long (perhaps sometimes longer) and pretty blue or nearly 

 white flowers with a dark purple-blue heart and usually violet blotches 

 on the lateral lobes, on elongating pedicels winged by the decurrent 

 calyx which is "o" long in flower and 'T-'S" long in fruit, narrow- 

 ellipsoid in ovitline.
