Dyer's Woad. Fl. May, July. Britain. PI. 2 to 4 feet. 



111. CAMPE'STRIS (Stev. in D. C. syst. 2. p. 571.) pods ob- 

 long, narrowed at the base, smooth, bluntish at the apex, 4 times 

 as long as broad, a little shorter than the pedicels. $ . H. 

 Native of southern Podolia in fields about Balta and near 

 Odessa. Very like /. tinctoria. 



Field Woad. Fl. May, July. Clt. 1820. PI. 2 feet. 



12 I. BANNA'TICA (Link. enum. 2. p. 149.) pods cuneated, 

 acuminated at the base, somewhat spatulate and very blunt at 

 the apex, smooth, 3 times as long as broad; upper leaves desti- 

 tute of auricles. Q. H. Native of Bannat. 



Bannalian Woad. Fl. June, July. Clt. 1819. PI. 1| foot. 



13 I. M-EO'TICA (D. C. syst. 2. p. 571.) pods oblong, smooth, 

 narrowed at the base, blunt and emarginate at the top, 4 or 5 

 times as long as broad. $ . H. Native of marshes about the 

 Azof Sea near Taganrog. Very like the preceding, but the pods 

 at the apex in the adult state are emarginate, and before maturity 

 they are perfectly linear, and almost double the length of those 

 of 7. Bannatica. Perhaps I. megacdrpa, Ledeb. 



Mceotic Woad. Fl. May, June. Clt. 1828. PI. l foot. 



141. TAU'KICA (D. C. syst. 2. p. 571.) pods oblong, nar- 

 rowed at the base, bluntish at the apex, smooth, 5 times as long 

 as broad. $ . H. Native of Tauria on calcareous rocks about 

 Bachtschisarai. Isatis e Tauria, Bieb. fl. taur. suppl. p. 422. 

 Very near to 7. Mceulica, but differing in the pods being emar- 

 ginate at the top in all states. 



Taurian Woad. Fl. May, June. Clt. 1820. PI. 1| foot. 



15 I. OBLONGA'TA (D. C. syst. 2. p. 471.) pods elliptical-ob- 

 long, narrowed and somewhat acute at each end, smooth, 5 

 times as long as broad, with the cells flattened in the centre, and 

 somewhat 3-nerved. $ . H. Native of Siberia about Irkoutsk. 

 A smooth herb, very much like 7. linctdria, but smaller in all its 

 parts. Perhaps 7. daxycdrpa, Ledeb. 



Oblong-podded Woad. Fl. May, June. Clt. 1820. PI. 2 feet. 



16 I. ORIENTALS (Willd. enum. 2. p. 663.) pods oblong- 

 linear, pointed with the sessile stigma, scarcely narrowed at the 

 base, pubescent, 5 times as long as broad, but scarcely exceed- 

 ing the length of the pedicel. Q. H. Native of the Levant. 

 This species is often confused with 7. canescens, I. Aleppica, 

 and /. Lusitdnica, but is sufficiently distinct from all. 



Eastern Woad. Fl. May, July. Clt. 1818. PI. 1 to 1| foot. 



171. CANE'SCENS (D. C. fl. fr. suppl. p. 598.) pods elongated, 

 cuneated, pubescent, narrowed at the base, somewhat spatulate 

 at the top and blunt, 4 times as long as broad, twice the length 

 of the pedicels, which are obconical at the top. $ . H. Native 

 of exposed situations on the sea-shore in Provence, and on the 

 sea-shore at Fanar, not far from the Bosphorus. Allied to 

 7. orientate on the one side, and to 7. tincloria var. y hirsuta on 

 the other. Leaves with acute auricles. 



Var. (3, Iberica (D. C. syst. 2. p. 572.) lower leaves grossly 

 toothed ; pods much more dilated at the top, and smoother. I. 

 Iberica, Stev, mem. mosc. 5. p. 267. Perhaps a proper species. 



Canescenl-podded Woad. Fl. May, June. Clt. 1823. PI. ft. 



18 I. ALE'PPICA (Scop. del. insubr. 2. p. 31. t. 16.) pods 

 linear, blunt, narrowed at the base, villous with reversed down, 

 8 times as long as broad, and 3 times as long as their pedicels. 

 Q. H. Native on rocks by the sea-shore in Greece and Asia 

 Minor, also about Aleppo. I. Lusitanica, Lin. spec. 936. ex- 

 clusive of the synonyms. Lam. ill. t. 554. f. 2. Tratt. arch. 2. p. 

 41. t. 69. I. jEgyptiaca, Lin. spec. 937. but not of Forsk. I. 

 minor, Mcench. meth. ? 222. Auricles of leaves acute. 



Var. ft, dentata (D. C. syst. 2. p. 573.) Q. H. Native of 

 Africa near Tripoli. I. dentata, Pers. ench. 2. p. 1 93. Leaves 

 grossly toothed, not lyrate as in the species. 



Aleppo \\oad. Fl. June, July. Clt. 1739. PI. 1 foot. 



Cult. The hardy perennial kinds answer well for ornament- 

 VOL. i. PART in. 



ing rock- work or the front of flower-borders, as they flower very 

 early. They may be either increased by cuttings or seeds, the 

 former will root freely under a hand-glass. The 'annual and 

 biennial kinds are only cultivated in botanic gardens, but as the 

 latter flower very early in the season, they are worth introducing 

 into flower-borders. They only require to be sown in the open 

 ground, where they are intended to remain or they may be trans- 

 planted. A dry light soil suits them best, as in wet land they 

 are very apt to damp off in the winter. 



LXXVIII. MYA'GRUM (from ftvia, myia, a fly, and aypa, 

 agra, capture. An ancient plant, so named from its properties 

 of catching flies, which our modern plant does not possess.) 

 Tourn. inst. 211. t. 99. D. C. syst. 2. p. 573. prod. 1. p. 212. 



LIN. SYST. Tetradynamm, Sdiculbsa. Silicic compressed, 

 almost cuneated, with 2 empty hollows at the. top, and 1 -celled 

 and 1 -seeded at the base. Seed pendulous, oblong. An annual 

 smooth erect herb. Lower leaves, oblong, tapering into the 

 stalk, upper ones sessile, sagittate, stem-clasping, with 2 acute 

 auricles, all of which are entire or somewhat toothed. Racemes 

 elongated, erect ; pedicels short, filiform, erect, after flowering 

 becoming obconical and hollow. Flowers small, pale-yellow. 



1 M. PERFOLIA'TUM (Lin. spec. 893.) O-H. Native of mid- 

 dle and south Europe in cultivated fields and sandy places, par- 

 ticularly in the south of France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, 

 Transylvania, and in Iberia about Tiflis. Schkuhr. handb. 2. p. 

 210. t. 178. M. littorale, Scop. earn. ed. 2. vol.2, p. 12. no.

Perfoliale -leaved Myagrum. Fl. June, July. Clt. 1648. PI. 

 3 to | foot. 



Cult. The seeds of this plant only require to be sown in the 

 open border, but it is hardly worth cultivating except in botanic 

 gardens. 



LXXIX. SOBOLE'WSKIA (in honour of Gregor. Sobolewski, 

 a Russian botanist, author of Flora Petropolitana, 1 vol. 8vo. 

 Petersburg!), 1799.) Bieb. fl. taur. suppl. p. 421. D. C. syst.

 long, pendulous. Cotyledons linear, somewhat curved. A 

 branched erect herb. Stems round, suffrutescent at the base. 

 Cauline leaves stalked, cordate-kidney-shaped, toothed. Racemes 

 elongated ; pedicels bractless, filiform. Flowers white. 



1 S. LITHO'PHILA (Bieb. cent. pi. rar. ross. 2. t. 59. fl. taur. 

 suppl. p. 421.) $ . H. Native of Tauria on rocks at the river 

 Salgir and at the Black sea, also in Iberia. Deless. icon. sel. 2. t.

 carpa, Bieb. fl. taur. 2. p. 90. Pods, many abortive, 3 lines long

 collections
