214 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



28 ^thusa L/ — Flowers^ (nearly of (E/2a;z^//^) asepalous; petals 

 broad inflexed at apex and from depressed costa emarginate, spuriously 

 2-lobed, reduplicate-valved. Stylopods depressed. Fruit shortly 

 ovoid, transversely subterete ; carpels rather compressed at back. 

 Eidges very prominent thick, transversely 3- angular, suberose (white), 

 sometimes subcarinate. Vittae in furrows solitary, intrajugal very 

 thin or 0. Face of seed nearly flat. Carpophore 2-partite. — Gla- 

 brous annuals ; ^ leaves decompound, 3-nately pinnate ; umbels com- 

 pound, or terminal, or oppositifolious ; involucral bracts 0, or 1, short ; 

 bracteoles of involucels 1-5,* setaceous, inserted externally at side of 

 inflorescence and descending.^ {Europe, north. Asia.^) 



29. Crithmum T.^ — Flowers subasepalous ; petals^ broad in- 

 curved ; ^ point long induplicate.^^ Stamens 5 ; filaments at first 

 incurved ; anthers cordate ; cells separated below by a short fold. 

 Stylopods depressed conical ; styles very short. Fruit ovoid-oblong ; 

 commissure broad; margins contiguous; exocarp thick suberose^' 

 everywhere equal ; vittae oo ,^^ linear with thin endocarp adnate to seed 

 and with it separable from exocarp. Mericarps slightly compressed 

 parallel to septum, 5-gonal ; primary ridges subequal rather promi- 

 nent, 3- angular. Seed rather compressed, face flat. — A glabrous 

 branched perennial herb, shrubby at base ; leaves fleshy temato-pin- 

 nately decompound ; lacinise entire acute thick ; umbels decompound ;* 

 bracts of involucre fohaceous ; ^^ bracteoles of involucels few flat; ^^
