FLORA. 



spreading, much enlarged in fruit, destitute of appendages. Corolla campanulate 

 or nearly cylindric, shorter than or slightly exceeding the calyx, usually with 5 

 minute appendages on the tube within, its lobes convolute in the bud. Stamens 

 included. Ovary i -celled; styles united below; ovules 2 4 on each of the placen- 

 tae. [Greek, large calyx.] About 3 species, natives of N. Am. 



i. Macrocalyx Nyctelea (L.) Kuntze. NYCTELEA. (I. F. f. 3001.) Spar- 

 ingly hirsute-pubescent; stem forked, 1-3 dm. high. Leaves pinnately divided, 

 petioled, 4-10 cm. long, ovate-oblong in outline, the upper alternate, the lower oppo- 

 site, the segments oblong or lanceolate; peduncles I flowered, opposite the leaves; 

 calyx in flower about 4 mm. long, about equalling the coiolla, enlarging, widely 

 spreading and becoming 15-30 mm. broad in fruit, its lobes lanceolate or ovate- 

 lanceolate, acuminate; fruit at length pendulous; capsule globose. In moist soil, 

 N. J. to Minn., the N. W. Terr., Va., Neb. and Kans. April-July. 



4. PHACELIA Juss. 



Mostly hirsute hispid or scabrous herbs, with alternate leaves, the lowest rarely 

 opposite, and blue, purple, violet or white flowers in terminal scorpioid cymes or 

 racemes. Calyx 5-lobed, somewhat enlarging in fruit; sinuses not appendaged. 

 Corolla-tube sometimes appendaged within, opposite the lobes, the lobes imbricated 

 in the bud. Stamens attached near the base of the corolla; anthers mostly ovate. 

 Ovary i -celled, the 2 placentae narrow, affixed to the walls; styles united below. 

 Capsule i-celled, or falsely nearly 2-celled, 2-valved. Seeds usually reticulated.
