214 CRUCIFERE.— ERUCAR1A. 



Obs. E speciminibus fructiferis specierum generis Erucaria in herbario suppe- 

 lentibus accuratius examinais evidentius patuit descriptionem Generis planlarum 

 (Benth. et Hook. Gen. I, 100) quoad cotyledones imperfectam et emendandam, 

 nam nunquam invenimus cotyledones seminum articuli superioris conduplicatas ut 

 in hac descriptione indicantur. — In E. Aîeppica Gœrtn. e Grœcia (Heldr. Grœc. 

 norm. n. 34o) cotyledones seminum utriusque articuli iineares planiusculae, ra- 

 dicula multo tongiores replicataa superne subcircinato-corculatœ (conf. Illuslr. 

 Ail. I, t. 33, f. 15-17), ut jam a Gaartnero (Fruct. II, 298, t. iA3) recte de- 

 scriptse et delineatœ. — In E. Boveana Goss. (Illustr. Ail. I, 45 in adn.) e Syria 

 (Blanche Herb. Syr. n. h) et Palaestina (Bové, Lagrange), quam non sine haesi- 

 tatione tanquam speciem propriam ab E. Akppica removi, cotyledones seminum 

 utriusque articuli Iineares vel oblongo-lineares , vix canaliculatas, radiculœ sub- 

 jequilongse, rectœ ut in figura 10 tabulas nostrae 33, vel vix medio subinflexae. — 

 In E. crassifolia Delile (/Eg. Illuslr. n. 61 3, et Eg. t. 3 A , f. 1; Boiss. Or. I, 366. 

 - Brassica crassifolia Forsk. - Exs. Lx Mg. 22 5) ex iEgypto cotyledones semi- 

 num utriusque articuli Iineares vel Iineares apice subspathulatœ, planas vel pla- 

 niusculœ, in articulo superiore saepius rectœ radicula non longiores, in inferiore 

 saepe longiores et medio transversim inflexœ. — In E. Mgicerale J. Gay (conf. 

 Illuslr. Atl.l, t. 33, f. 9-10) et in planta ex yEgypto (E. Tourneuxii) quam ab illa 

 dubilanter distingui cotyledones seminum utriusque articuli conformes vel biformes 

 sed non conduplicatae.
