45. Euzomodendron Coss. 1 — Sepals erect ; lateral saccate at base. 

 Stamens 6, longer 4 connate in pairs. Siliqua linear oblong, or 

 elongated lanceolate compressed ; beak ensiform, much compressed ; 

 apex stigmatose 2-lobed ; valves convex coriaceous multicostate ; sep- 

 tum membranous hyaline. Seeds go, 1-seriate compressed, girt by a 

 broad soft membranous wing ; embr} T o coloured ; cotyledons condupli- 

 cate ; radicle cylindrical ascending ; funicles setaceous, half adnate to 

 septum. — A glabrous branching undershrub ; branches terete ; leaves 

 alternate pinnatilobate ; flowers 2 in terminal racemes (Spain 3 ). 



46. Henophyton Coss. & Dur. 4 — Sepals erect; lateral saccate 

 at base. Siliqua 6 broadly linear, nearly flat, beaked by erect style in 

 flower (2 lobes of stigmatiferous apex connate-conical) ; margin 

 straight or subsinuate ; valves flat shining submembranous, with 1 

 median rib ; veins anastomosing ; septum membranous- winged ; 

 funicles adnate to septum. — An erect glabrous branching undershrub; 

 stems and branches terete, finally white ; leaves alternate linear, 

 entire or subsinuate, rather fleshy; flowers 6 in lax terminal racemes; 

 pedicels long ebracteate (East Algeria 1 ). 



47. Moricandia DC. 8 — Sepals erect ; lateral very saccate at base. 

 Stamens of Brassica. Placentary glands usually minute or 0. 

 Siliqua linear elongated, erostrate (or with compressed, sometimes 1- 

 seeded, rostrum) ; valves carinate or flat ; septum thin membranous; 

 style rather short; stigmatose kbes connate into an erect rather 

 compressed cone. Seeds 1-seriate (Doueped*), or 2-seriate, immar- 

 ginate marginate or winged (Douepea). — Herbs or small shrubs, 

 glabrous glaucous; leaves entire or pinnatisect, usually amplexicaul; 

 flowers 10 rather large (South Europe, North Africa, West Asia 11 ).
