the tip, with short triangular or oblong lobes pointing towards 
the apex; stem leaves few. Flowers cream-colour, with the 
petals longer, narrower, and more erect than in the last species. 
Pedicels about 1 inch long. Pods from 1 to 13 inch long. Seeds 
dark brown, much compressed. Leaves deep green, shining, clothed 
and ciliated with simple and forked hairs, which also occur upon 
the stem. 
Bristol Rock Cress. 
SPECIES IV—ARABIS HIRSUTA. 
Puates CXVI. CXVII. 
Rootstock slender, nearly simple, woody. Radical leaves 
oblanceolate, attenuated at the base into a short footstalk. Stem 
leaves applied to stem, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, toothed or 
entire, the upper ones more or less semi-amplexicaul. Petals nar- 
rowly oblanceolate, about thrice as long as the sepals, erect. Pods 
erect, five to ten times as long as the pedicels; valves 1-nerved ; 
style scarcely perceptible. Seeds in one row, oval or oblong, much 
compressed, narrowly winged all round (in the British forms), with 
the wing broadest at the apex. 
Hairy Wall Cress, Hairy Tower Mustard. 
French, Arabette & Velue. 
The root is strong and woody, which enables this plant to have a perennial life in 
its dry and exposed situations on walls and calcareous rocks. In cultivation it loses 
much of its hairiness, and grows into a tall and elegant plant. 
Sus-Srecres I—Arabis ciliata. 2. Brown. 
Pirate CX VII.* 
A. ciliata, Auct. Angl. nec aliorum. 
Stem leafy up to the inflorescence. Uppermost stem leaves 
truncate, rounded at the base, with the rudiment of a footstalk, 
and so scarcely amplexicaul. Pods four to six times as long as the 
pedicels, and in the broadest part more than twice the breadth of 
the pedicels. Seeds once and a half as long as broad, rounded at 
the base and apex. 
Var. a, genuina. 
Leaves glabrous, except at the margins, where they are ciliated.
