 fid ; radical ones simple, with linear, bluntish segments ; brac- 

 teas trifid ; middle segment generally 3-lobed ; calyx quadrifid,

 what twice trifid, with linear segments ; bracteas divided like 

 the leaves ; calyx quadrifid, with equal segments. If.. H. Na- 

 tive along with the preceding. Euchroma Bradburii, Nutt. 1. c.

Bradbury's Painted Cup. PI. -j foot. 



Cult. The species are very difficult to cultivate. Peat is 

 the best soil for them. They may be grown in shady peat bor- 

 ders ; but are best in pots, being more easily sheltered during 

 winter, by placing them under a frame. 



CI. ORTHOCA'RPUS (from opBoc, orthos, straight; and 

 k-ap7ro, karpos, a fruit ; the straightness of the fruit readily dis- 

 tinguishes it from Melampyrum.) Nutt. gen. amer 2. p. 56. 



LIN. SYST. Didynamia, Angiospermia. Calyx tubular, semi- 

 quadrifid. Corolla bilabiate, closed ; upper lip smaller, com- 

 pressed, with inflexed margins : lower lip concave, obsoletely 

 3-toothed, unexpanded. Anthers free ; cells unequal, divari- 

 cate. Capsule straight, elliptic-ovate, 2-celled, 2-valved, many- 

 seeded, opening on both sides ; dissepiment transverse. Seeds 

 small, with a winged lunate margin. Annual. Stem simple. 

 Leaves alternate, entire. Flowers axillary, alternate, sessile, 

 and bracteate ; bracteas divaricately trifid. Corollas yellow. 



1 O. LU'TEUS (Nutt. 1. c.) . H. Native in humid situ- 

 ations on the plains of the Missouri, near Fort Mandan, very 

 local. Flowers size and form of those of Melampyrum at first 

 sight. Leaves lanceolate, linear, sessile, acute, opaque, and 

 are, as well as the bracteas and calyx, viscidly pubescent. Mar- 

 gins scabrous. Bracteas 3-nerved. Corolla yellow, smooth. 

 Stigma simple, minute.

LIN. SVST. Didynamia, Angiospermia. Calyx ventricose, 

 tubular, obliquely 4-cleft : upper segment shortest : the lower 

 large and emarginate, or bidentate. Corolla bilabiate : upper 

 lip entire, arched, the lower 3-lobed. Capsule ovate, nearly 



terete, 2-celled, 2-valved ; dissepiment produced by the in- 

 flexed margins of the valves, and parallel with the longitudinal 

 receptacle. Seeds numerous, imbricate, linear, and winged. 

 A perennial, herbaceous plant. Leaves alternate, entire. Flow- 

 ers axillary, racemose, alternate, on short pedicels. Calyx 

 mostly marked with 10-12 angular stripes, and conspicuously 

 bibracteate at the base. Said by Nuttall to belong to the An- 

 tirrhinece. Capsule without any transverse dissepiment, opening 

 longitudinally always below the adhering summit.
