270 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



septum membranous; cells sub-8-spermous; style very long-exserted; 

 stigma capitellate. Seeds ovate pendulous, 2-seriate; funicles 

 filiform free. — A branching herb, woody at base ; branches short 

 leafy glandular hairy ; leaves subrosulate linear entire subcarneous 

 glabrous ; flowers 1 racemose long-pedicellate nodding ; pedicels 

 slender, bracteate at base ; bracts linear (New Granada?). 



105 ? Odontocyclus Turcz. 4 — " Sepals equal at base. Petals 

 emarginate. Stamens toothless, dilated at base. Siliqua sessile 

 orbiculate ; valves flat, dentate at edge, not keeled ; replum included. 

 Seeds 2, 3 in each cell, immarginate. — A small plant, covered (except 

 on petals and silicules) with simple or branching patent hairs ; cauline 

 leaves sessile cuneate-rhomboid, irregularly incised at apex ; racemes 

 very numerous, axillary and terminal, with many flowers, ebracteate ; 

 pedicels 2 or 3 times length of siliqua" 5 (Kurile Islands*). 



106. Cochlearia L. 7 — Sepals short subequal lax. Petals unguicu- 

 late imbricated. Stamens 6, 4-dynamous, or all subequal ; filaments 

 free, upright or geniculate, or 4-longer arched at apex {Kernera 8 ). 

 Hypogynous glands 4, oppositipetalous. Siliqua sessile or shortly 

 stipitate oblong or globose, sometimes turgid (Kernera), rarely late- 

 rally compressed very rarely very flat ; style erect short or more or 

 less elongated, at apex stigmatose, dilatate or capitellate ; valves 

 frequently ventricose, sometimes very convex (Kernera), or tumid 

 membranous laxly reticulate ribless (Tap/irospermum 9 ), or oftener 

 venose, seldom ribbed. Seeds go, or few (Taphrospermum) 2-seriate 

 or more rarely 1 -seriate (Taphrospermum), immarginate ; testa smooth 

 or tuberculate ; cotyledons accumbent or more rarely incumb-
