Observations. 



§ 



qucntly doubtful, we have seen only seeding specimens 

 which Mr. Ware collected in the arid pine forests. The 

 Avhole plant appears to have been smooth and glaucous, 

 the stem terete, herbaceous, low, and branching towards 

 the summit. With the radical leaves we are unacquaintedj 

 those few which remain on the stem are cordate-ovate, 

 amplexicaule, and entire. The flowers have been aggre- 

 gated in a close cor\mb ; the peduncles are fihform. The 

 siliqucs curved downwards, are conspicuously stipitate, flat, 

 and two and a half to three inches long, the stipe about 

 three fourths of an inch, with the peduncle somewhat 

 shorter. The disseplm^u is equal and parallel with 

 the valves. The seeds are alternately attached to either 

 side the suture of the dissepiment, and are small, brown, 

 ova!, striated and compressed* The cotyledones are sim- 

 ple or undivided, and the radicle curved.

 Steins filiform, four to six inches high, generally simple, 

 bearing from about one to five remote, long pedunculated
