2. Wislizenia ExGezm. — Flores 4-meri; sepalis brevibus, imbri- 
catis, deciduis. Petala breviter unguiculata, imbricata. Stamina 6, 
æstivatione inflexa ; filamentis demum elongatis; antheris exsertis, 
2-locularibus. Germen longe stipitatum ; loculis 2, 2-dymis, 2-ovulatis ; 
stylo gracili subulato. Capsula 2-dyma, stipite gracili refracto imserta ; 
lobis tuberculatis, demum a septo pertuso solutis, 1-spermis. Semen 
conduplicatum arcuato-reniforme; embryonis valde incurvi cotyledo- 
nibus incumbentibus. — Herba annua glabra ; foliis alternis, 3-foliolatis ; 
stipulis fimbriatis; floribus in racemos breves terminales axillaresque 
dispositis. (Nov, Mexic.) — Vid. p. 1h9. 
IH, CAPPARIDEÆ. 
3. Capparis T. — Flores hermaphroditi, regulares v. irregulares ; 
receptaculo convexo. Sepala 4, v. rarissime 5, æqualia v. inæqualia, 
libera connatave, nunc inæqualiter rupta, intus nuda v. glandula basi- 
lari ligulave intus v. lateraliter aucta ; præfloratione valyata imbricatave. 
Petala alterna 4, v. rarius œ, imbricata. Stamina sæpius œ, toro nunc 
hinc glanduloso inserta, libera ; antheris introrsis, 2-rimosis. Germen 
longe stipitatum ; loculis 1- æ; septis incompletis completisve, 2œ-ovu- 
ligeris; stylo brevissimo v. subnullo, mox in laminam stigmatiferam 
dilatato. Fructus baccatus v. plus minus corticatus, forma valde varius, 
globosus, ovoideus, v. valde elongatus siliquiformis, nunc inter semina 
constrictus, indehiscens v. rarius ægreque dehiscens. Semina ®, nidu- 
lantia reniformia; testa coriacea v. sæpius crustacea ; embryonis exal- 
buminosi cotyledonibus carnosis radiculaque longissima convolutis. Et 
Arbores fruticesve, nune scandentes, inermes, spinosi v. aculeati, glabrt, 
tomentosi v. varie lepidoti; foliis alternis v. rarius oppositis, rarissime 0, 
membranaceis coriaceisve, deciduis v. persistentibus; stipulis setacels 
v. spinescentibus; floribus axillaribus, v. supraaxillaribus, solitariis 
v. fasciculatis, nunc superpositis, aut in racemos corymbosve terminales 
dispositis, sæpius bracteatis. (Orb. tot. reg. trop., subtrop. et temp.)
