247 



Savoy, Switzerland, in sand on the banks of rivers and rivulets. 

 Sinapis Tournefortii, All. ped. no. 692. exclusive of the sy- 

 nonyms. Sisymbrium Monense, Gilib. elem. 2. p. 184. Erysi- 

 mum arvense, Thor. chlor. land. 284. Flowers yellow. This 

 is a very polymorphous plant. 



Var. /3, Sinapis recurvata (All. ped. no. 963. t. 37.) Perhaps 

 this plant is specifically distinct from the calyx, being more 

 loose, and the beak of the pod rougher. Native of Piedmont 

 and Mauritania on hills in exposed situations. 



Var. y, B. montana (D. C. fl. fr. 4. p. 651.) Native of the 

 Pyrenees on the higher mountains. This plant is humble, almost 

 stemless, and tufted.

24 B. CHEIRANTHIFLORA (D. C. syst. 2. p. 601.) radical 

 leaves stalked, lyrately-pinnatifid, rather hispid, cauline ones few,

 than the beaks. Q. H. Native of Spain, France, in sandy

Var. ft, B. sisymbrioldes (Fisch. in litt.) Q. H. Native of 

 Persia about Lencheran. This plant differs from the species, in 

 the habit being smaller, as well as in the leaves being pinnate ; 

 the lobes are equal, and the terminal one is hardly larger than 

 the lateral ones.

 cultivated places. Sinapis radicata, Desf. fl. atl. 2. p. 98. t. 

 167. Smith, fl. graec. t. 648. Flowers pale-yellow. This is a 

 species apparently between Brdssica and Sinapis; it has a spread- 

 ing calyx as in Sinapis, but the habit and fruit is that ofBrassica. 

 Shrubby Cabbage. FL May, July. Clt. 1818. PL H foot. 



31 B. CYRENI'ACA (Spreng. syst. 2. p. 911.) smooth; upper 

 leaves cordate-ovate, serrulated, stem-clasping ; calyx smooth ; 

 pod torulose ; beak tetragonal, 2-edged, obtuse. $ . H. Na- 

 tive of Lybia or Cyreniaca. Raphanus amplexicaulis, Viv.

SECT. III. MICROPODIUM (from piKpos, mikros, small, and 

 trove, pous, a foot ; in allusion to the siliques being seated on 

 short pedicels.) Silique elevated above the receptacle on a 

 short pedicle, terminated by the short slender style, which is 

 tipped by a capitate stigma. Allied to Diplotdxis, but there is 

 only one row of seeds in each cell. 



33 B. ELONGA'TA (Ehrh. beitr. 7. p. 159.) leaves stalked, 

 lower ones sinuately-pinnatifid, hispid, upper ones smooth, 

 toothed ; stem smooth. $ . H. Native of Transylvania, Hun- 

 gary, Tauria, and Caucasus, on sandy hills, and by way-sides in 

 sterile places. Waldst. et Kit. hung. 1. p. 26. t. 28. Sinapis 

 Icevigata, Pall. ined. taur. Habl. p. 164. This species is truly 

 difficult to class as the calyx is not closed as in Brassica, nor is 

 it loose as in Sinapis. Flowers yellow. This species is culti- 

 vated in Hungary for the sake of expressed oil of the seeds. The 

 cultivation of Sinapis nigra will answer well for this plant. 



Elongated-racemed Cabbage. Fl. June, Oct. Clt. 1817. PL 

 2 to 4 feet. 



34 B. SABHLARIA (Brot. phyt. p. 97. t. 43.) radical leaves 

 rather pilose, pinnatifid or runcinate, upper ones linear; stem 

 hispid at the base. Q. H. Native of Portugal in sandy fields, 

 especially about Coimbra and Lisbon, also of Sardinia. Sisym- 

 brium Parra, Lin. mant. 255. Calyx greenish-yellow ; petals

 crowned by the shortish thick style. $ , H. Native of Egypt. 



Brittle Cabbage. PL 1 foot. 



f" Species not sufficiently known. 



36 B. BU NIAS (D. C. syst. 2. p. 606.) $ 1 H. Native 

 probably of the Levant. This plant has been confused with the 

 true Bimias orientate, Lin. and is mixed with it in his herba- 

 rium, but it differs from that plant in the young pods being 

 terete, slender, and smooth, terminated by a filiform style, adidt 

 ones oblong, crowned by a seedless conical beak. Bunias foliis 

 retrorsum sinuatis, Lin. hort. ups. 1 86. The terminal lobe of 

 the leaf is very large, and the lateral ones incline backwards ; 

 the cauline ones are small and entire. Racemes panicled and 

 elongated. 



Bunias-like Cabbage. Fl. June, July. PL 2 to 3 feet. 



37 B. RECTANGULA' RIS (Viv. append, fl. cors. in Schlecht. 

 Linnsea 1. p. 502.) leaves rectangularly- pinnate ; outer pinnaj 

 confluent ; leaflets sessile, and are as well as the segments broad- 

 linear, deeply serrated ; claws of petals, as well as the stamens,
