114. Fagonia T.'—Flowers nearly of Zygophyllum; sepals 5, 
imbricated, deciduous. Petals 5, imbricated, caducous. Stamens 
10, inserted below small disk; filaments naked, slender; anthers 
shortly oblong, introrsely 2-rimose. Germen sessile, 5-agonal ; cells 
5, oppositipetalous ; style subulate, 5-agonal, simple, stigmatiferous 
at apex; ovules in each cell 2, inserted at base of internal angle, 
collaterally ascending; micropyle introrse or sublateral, inferior. 
Fruit capsular, pyramid-5-agonal ; cocci 5, finally solute from axis, 
inwardly dehiscent ; endocarp corneous, separating ; seeds solitary 
in cells, erect, compressed, widely oblong; testa mucilaginous ; 
albumen coriaceous ; embryo straight ; cotyledons flat, wide ovate.— 
Ramified herbs, sometimes suffrutescent at base, diffuse or prostrate, 
glabrous or with short hairs, often tuberculate at apex, somewhat 
hispid; leaves opposite 1-3-foliolate ; folioles entire, mucronate ; 
stipules usually spinescent; flowers’ lateral to leaves, pedunculate 
(Hast. Med. Reg. South Africa, Temp. America’). 
115. Seetzenia R. Br.t—Flowers hermaphrodite, apetalous, usu- 
ally 5-merous ; receptacle shortly convex. Sepals linear-oblong, val- 
vate incurved at apex. Stamens equal in number to sepals, opposite 
them ; filaments inserted below small lobed disk, free; anthers sub- 
globose introrsely or sublaterally rimose. Germen sessile, oblong 
clavate, rather fleshy, truncate 5-locular; styles 5, short radiating, 
capitellate stigmatiferous at apex; ovules solitary in each cell, 
descending ; micropyle extrorse superior. Capsule elongate-ovoid, 
with 5-cocci; cocci solute from axis; exocarp narrow separating 
from crustaceous endocarp inwardly and at excised apex ; columella 
persistent rigid, dilated 5-dentate at apex; seeds solitary descending 
ovate, compressed; testa thick; albumen thin; embryo subequal ; 
cotyledons subelliptical rather thick ; radicle cylindrical superior.—
