420 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



Seeds in cells 1, 2, globose; testa cnistaceous, often shortly arillate 

 at base; cotyledons of exalbuminous embryo large transversely con- 

 duplicate. — Herbs frutescent at base; branches slender abundant 

 scandent sulcate ; leaves alternate, 2-ternate or decomposite ; leaflets 

 crenate or serrate, sometimes pellucidly punctate or lineate ; flowers 

 in axillary sometimes corymbiform cymiferous racemes ; peduncle 

 naked at base, 2-cirrose ; pedicels articulate. {All trupical rec/ions}) 



59. Kœlreuteria Laxm.^ — Flowers polygamous irregular ; sepals 

 5, valvate. Petals 3, 4, alternate, unequal, unguiculate, fm-uished 

 within with a small 2-partite scale. Stamens 5-8, interior to irre- 

 gular 3, 4-lobed disk oblique among them ; filaments free declinate, 

 villose or glandulose ; anthers introrse. Germen 3-locular ; style 

 stigmatose at apex subintregal or 3-fid ; ovules in cell 2 ; one descen- 

 dent ; raphe dorsal ; the other ascendent ; raphe ventral. Fruit cap- 

 sular inflated submembranaceo-vesicular venose, loculicidally 3-Iocu- 

 lar, at base and apex 1-locular ; septa seminiferous within. Seeds 

 subglobose exarillate; testa crustaceous (blackish); cotyledons of
