The ftalks are from three to fix inches high ; they 

 recline at the bafe, and increafe by offsets : the 

 radical leaves are fometimes only dented on the 

 edges, but are more frequently deeply fmuated 

 with two pair of oval acute lobes, and an odd 

 one at the extremity : the ftalk-leaves are Icfs 

 dented, and the uppermofl are elliptical and en- 

 tire : the flowers are either white or a little ting'd 

 with purple : the valves of the Siliqua burfl at 

 the bafe, but do not coil up like the other fpe- 



cies of this genus.
