expanded in the mouth in a campanular form, 
with the border divided imto 5 equal rounded 
lobes: stamens 5, equal ; anthers 2-lubed, affixed 
to a narrow dorsal connective above, free below, 
and bursting longitudinally in front near the 
margin: ovarium 2-celled, and singularly sur- 
mounted by a fleshy epigynous gland, which is 
either small and stylobasic, or else enveloping 
the upper moiety of the ovarium: fruit an ex- 
succous berry, which sometimes bursts by a cir- 
cumscissile line on the margin of the gland : em- 
bryo terete, annular, and somewhat spiral. 
Corolla tubular, more or less 
campanular, with a border divided into 5 equal 
rounded lobes, which are imbricate in estiva- 
tion : stamens 5, equal ; anthers ovate, 2-lobed, 
lobes laterally adnate, reversed in Atropa by the 
deflexion of the filaments: fruit baccate, 2- or 
5-celled, fleshy, often somewhat exsuccous : em- 
bryo terete, nearly perispherical. 
Tribe 9. Solandree. Corolla generally with an elon- ) 
gated, straight, rarely,a short tube, in no degree 
plicated in bud, border 5-cleft into more or less 
rounded equal lobes: 5 equal stamens, generally 
epipetalous, but sometimes arising from the out- 
side of a free ring, attached to the base of the 
corolla; anthers oblong, 2-celled, cells parallel 
and adnate upon a dorsal connective, and burst- 
ing longitudinally in front : fruit a fleshy 2-locu- 
lar berry, and seeds with a nearly straight terete 
embryo, with a lax testa, as in the Cestrinee. 
elongated tube, somewhat ventricose below the 
contracted mouth, border divided into 5 nearly 
equal segments, their zstivation being decidedly 
imbricative (unknown in Heteranthia): stamens 
didynamous, somewhat inflected at the apex, 
with one pair shorter; anthers unilocular and 
hippocrepiform, as in the Verbascee and the Du- 
boisiee: style slender: stigma small, bilobed, 
and simply clavate, or with the lobes somewhat 
gaping : fruit either capsular or baccate, with a 
nearly straight embryo.

The Solanacee, Atropacee and Scrophulariacee, as here de- 
fined, evidently constitute an alliance, bound together by very 
striking and peculiar characters, distinguishable in the structure 
of their corolla and ovarium, but more especially in that of their
