among- which are a number of long purple white-tipped spreading 

 bristles, rarely nearly glabrous. Leaves subsessile, membranous, 4-5 in. 

 long, f in. broad, lanceolate, tapering at the base, acute at the apex, 

 irregularly glandulose-serrate, entire at the apex, 1-nerved, nearly 

 glabrous, or with a few scattered white hairs, sometimes pinnately lobed. 

 Flower-stalks axillary, slender, glabrous or nearly so, about the length 

 of the adjacent leaf, bearing at the extremity 5 or more flowers in a 

 dense 1 -sided racemose cyme. Bracts lanceolate, shorter than the 

 flowers. Flower-buds roundish, ultimately oblong, club-shaped. Calyx 

 f in. long ; tube cylindrical-clavate, covered with white hairs, limb 

 divided into 5 short triangular teeth. Petals exceeding the calyx, 

 yellow, linear-spathulate with very long narrow stalks attached to the 

 tube of the flower below the middle. Stamens 5, of unequal length ; 

 filaments free, ribbon-like, included, attached to the base of the calyx- 

 tube. Pods 2 in. long, slender, cylindrical or beaded, loculicidally 

 3-valved, valves striated, smooth, bearing the seeds on the centre. 

 Seeds numerous, oblong or flask-shaped, straight or curved, with a 

 white membranous 1-sided arillus at the base ; testa crustaceous, pitted, 

 yellow or black. — W. diversifolia, Rich. Fl. Seneg. i. 36, t. ! ll ; Raphanus

A species that varies much in stature, texture, and hairiness. Even the colour of 

 the seeds is different in different pods on the same plant. Klotzsch's W. tanacetifolia, 

 of which I have not seen specimens, is doubtfully referred to this species. 



4. W. glandulifera, Klotzsch in Peters' Mossamb. Bot. i. 146, t. 26. 

 A branched herb or undershrub, the branches covered with blackish 

 spreading hairs. Leaves membranous, hispid, about 3 in. in length, 

 oblong ovate or lanceolate, tapering at the base into a short stalk, 

 doubly serrate, serratures sharply pointed, apiculate. Flower-stalks 

 axillary, hispid, about the length of the leaves, bearing at the extremity 

 a cluster of flowers. Calyx tubular, dilated in the middle ; sepals acute, 

 hispid. Petals obovate, wedge-shaped at the base and tapering into a 

 long narrow claw, hairy at the junction between the claw and the blade. 

 Ovary cylindrical, downy. Capsules cylindrical, pod-like, beaded, 3- 

 valved, valves downy. Seeds oblong, orange-yellow, pitted.
