GENERA 
I. RUTEZÆ. 
1. Ruta T. — Flores hermaphroditi regulares; receptaculo con- 
vexo. Sepala 4, 5, libera v. basi connata, imbricata. Pelala totidem 
alterna, sæpe fornicata, dentata v. ciliata, imbricata v. torta. Stamina 
8-10, sub disco urceolari crasso glanduloso v. foveolato inserta ; fila- 
mentis liberis, basi dilatatis (oppositipetalis brevioribus) ; antheris 
introrsis, 2-rimosis. Carpella 4, 5, oppositipetala; germinibus liberis 
v. basi inter se et summo receptaculo adnatis, 1-locularibus ; stylis 
totidem basi liberis, mox inter se in columnam apice stigmatoso capi- 
tellatam coalitis; ovulis in germinibus singulis 2- , 2-seriatim des- 
cendentibus v. subtransversis anatropis. Fructus carpella 4, 5, subli- 
bera v. basi plus minus connata, sicca capsularia, apice intus dehiscentia 
v. rarius altius connata subcarnosa ægre ad apicem v. haud dehiscentia 
(Ruteria). Seminà angulata ; testa fuscata grosse punctata; albumine 
carnoso ; embryonis crassiusculi plus minus arcuati cotyledonibus nunc 
2-partilis ; radicula conica. — Herbæ basi perennes v. suffrutices glandu- 
loso-punctati graveolentes ; foliis alternis simplicibus v. 3-sectis (Haplo- 
phyllum), sæpius 3-foliolatis, pinnatisectis v. decompositis; floribus in 
racemos terminales v. axillares cymiferos foliaceo-bracteatos dispositis ; 
terminalibus sæpius 5-meris ; lateralibus autem sæpius 4-meris. (eg.
