75. ERUCASTRUM. 



. I unite Chciranthus and cheii'anthiflorum to

 pid at base. a. Sandy, unciilt." — DC, under 

 Brassica Erucastrimi. Re quotes Linn, and 

 Sisymbrium Erucastrum of Villars. 



8. ochroleucum. " Like the last ; but the 

 stamens, instead of being turned outwards, are 

 pressed against the pistil, and the lower divi- 

 sions of the middle stem L. are distant from 

 the stem, while, in the preceding, these divisions 

 are close to the stem, and embrace it. Nancy. 

 Very rar^."— Godkon. Lt seems doubtful 

 whether both of these do not belong to E.
