232 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



stigma sessile 2-lobed (other parts unknown). — A low annual herb ; 

 stem thin glabrous flexuous few-leaved ; leaves scattered long-petio- 

 late 3-foliolate ; leaflets linear quite entire ; corymb few-flowered ; 

 flowers 1 slender pedicellate " (Sikkim Himalaya?). 



12. Morettia DC. 3 — Sepals equal erect. Petals linear entire. 

 Stamens 6 ; filaments without teeth ; anthers occasionally subsagit- 

 tate. Siliqua thick stipitate subterete curved erect ; style short, 

 rather thick ; apex stigmatiferous 2-lobed ; lobes divaricated or erect 

 into a cone ; valves concave rigid ribbed, incompletely partitioned by 

 transverse septa between seeds ; septum opaque. Seeds go, 1 -seriate, 

 oblong or orbicular, compressed; embryo rather thick ; radicle longer 

 than accumbent cotyledons. — Herbs, branched leafy, hispidulous with 

 stellate hairs or hoary-tomentose ; leaves all cauline sessile entire 

 dentate ; flowers axillary, solitary or subspicate at end of twigs 

 (Arabia, North Africa 4 ). 



13. Notoceras E. Br. 5 — Sepals and petals small subequal. Sili- 

 qua linear-oblong, cylindrical-sub-4-gonous, dehiscing late, con- 

 tinuous or torulose (Diceratetta) ; 6 valves more or less subseptiferous 

 within, carinate, at apex produced obliquely into a horn-like mucro; 

 apex of style minutely capitate. Seeds few immarginate (of Cheir- 

 anthui). — Herbs, somewhat rigid depressed branching, hoary with 

 2-partite hairs ; leaves linear or ovate sinuate or entire ; flowers 7 in leaf- 

 opposed racemes {West Asia, Mediterranean region, Canary islands 9 ). 



14 ? Andrzejowskia Reichb. 9 — Flowers nearly of Notoceras; lateral 

 sepals slightly saccate at base. Siliqua linear compressed indehiscent ; 

 apex of style minutely capitate ; valves sharply keeled, with apex
