I have reason to believe that this is the original Stenopetalum 
lineare of Mr. Brown, the species on which the genus was 
founded; but the fruit is certainly more elongated and more 
cylindrical than in those species of Stenopetalum already figured 
in this work, and somewhat at variance with the generic cha- 
racter as given by De Candolle; “ siticula ellipsoidea, com- 
pressa. Yet, in other respects, in the erect fruit, in the size of 
the plant, and in the leaves, it tallies with the description; only 
it is said of the stem “ seta porcina viv crassior.” Our fruit 
can scarcely be compared with that of Draba, to which De Can- 
dolle likens it.
