x. CHUCIFER^E. (Hook. f. & T. Anderson.) 151 



Stem 1-3 ft., tall, quite glabrous, or slightly pubescent near the base. Leaves petioled, 

 pinnatifid or pinnatipartite ; segments remote, spreading, toothed; terminal large, 

 sometimes hastate. Flowers yellow. Pods 1J-2 in., slender, erect, glabrous, sub- 

 torulose; valves 3-nervecl; pedicels - in., ascending, curved. S. irioides is said to 

 be distinguished by a character that seems to be of no value. All the large flowered 

 specimens resembling and previously referred to S. Irio are referable to S. LcRselii. 

 Boissier's authentic specimen of S. irioides is unique ; its flowers are described as 

 double the size of those of S. Irio and the style as elongated.
