168 TETRADYNAMIA— SILICULOSA. Hutchinsia. 



moreover entirely destitute of the minute concave scales, so cha- 

 racteristic of L. campestre. The style is full twice as long as 

 the lobes of the border. Seeds solitary. Co^i/^er/ons incumbent, 

 as I have found them on examination, and as there is no room 

 to doubt their being in L. campestre, so that the more obvious 

 character of the solitary seeds is thus confirmed, and the true 

 genus of these plants perfectly estabUshed. Ray well knew this 

 species, and the old figures, of which those of the two Bauhins 

 only are original, answer perfectly to our plant, though Hudson's 

 Thlaspi hirtum is but a variety of campestre.
