hornotinos v. fasciculos foliatos laterales terminantibus. (Europa, Asia, 
America trop.). — Vid. p. h9. 
10. Leontice L. — Sepala 6-9, petaloidea; extima minora ; præflo- 
ratione imbricata. Petala 6, multo minora nectariformia, apice trun- 
cata v. dilatato-cucullata (Caw/ophyllum), vrarius sepalis subsimilia 
(Bongarda). Stamina 6, libera; antheris muticis, valvulis 2 sursum 
dehiscentibus. Carpellum 4; ovulis 2 v. 4-8, placentæ basilari v. paulo 
laterali msertis, adscendentibus anatropis. Capsula membranacea v. vesi- 
caria, indehiscens ; v. apice etiam ante maturitatem hiante (Gymnosper- 
mium), rariusve evanescente (Caulophyllum). Semina pauca glohosa 
stipitata, nune jam ante maturitatem nudata (Caulophyllum) ; integu- 
mentis extus plus minus carnosis, intus basi intrusis. — Herbæ peren- 
ves; rhizomate tuberoso; foliis radicalibus pinnatisectis v. bis terve 
3-sectis; caulinis paucis v. bracteiformibus ; floribus scapo communi in 
racemum ramosum Compositum v. cymiferum dispositis. (Æwropa austr.. 
Asia med. et bor. or., America bor.) — Vid. p. 52. 
11. Epimedium T, — Flores 2-meri v. rarissime 3-meri (Vancou- 
veria) ; sepalis petaloideis, 2-6-seriatis, imbricatis; exterioribus mino- 
ribus minus coloratis v. bracteiformibus. Petala 2-seriata, plana (Ace- 
ranthus) v. sæpius basi nectarnformia, cucullata v. calcarata, imbricata. 
Stamina 4 (v. rarissime 6), hbera ; antheris valvulis 2 sursum dehiscen- 
tibus. Carpellum 1 ; ovalis œ, d-seristint parietalibus adscendentibus, 
analropis; micropyle extrorsum infera; stylo gracili, apice concavo 
leviter dilatato stigmatoso. Capsula siliquiformis, 2-valvis ; valva dorsali 
minore decidua, majorem seminiferam nudante. Semina ©, adscen- 
dentia, dorso paulo supra hilum arillo vesiculoso munita ; embryone 
parvo subreelo v. incurvo. — Herbæ perennes; rhizomate repente; 
foliis alternis, 2-foliolatis +. sæpius pinnatim semel, bis terve 3-sectis ; 
floribus in racemos simplices v. rarius ramosos terminales nes 
(Europa, Africa bor., Asia temp., America bor.) — Vid. p. 
12. Nandina Tauxg. — Perianthii foliola œ, receptaculo longius- 
culo 3-natim inserta, imbricata, ab exterioribus minoribus coriacels 
ad intima petaloidea gradatim mutata. Stamina 6, 2-seriata, libera ; an- 
theris basifixis subsessilibus, introrsum 2-rimosis. Carpellum 4 ; ovulis 2, 
placentæ parietalis basi insertis, adscendentibus. Bacca indehiscens. 
Semina 1, 2, basi concava v. intrusa ; embryone minimo. — Frutex
