Papaveracce — Bocconia. 4! 
Sicilian botanist. These plants are grown more for their orna~ 
mental habit and foliage than their flowers. 
1. B. cordata, syn. Maclerya cordata.—This is the original 
hardy species, a native of China. 
2. B. Juponica.—A handsomer plant than the foregoing. It 
has large oblong glaucous leaves, deeply lobed and cordate at the 
base. Both grow from 4 to 6 feet high, and form very striking 
objects in the garden. Probably a variety of the foregoing. 
There are two other species, from the West Indies and Mexico. 
7. ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 
Annual or perennial herbs, glabrous and glaucescent. Leaves 
much divided into linear segments. This genus is distinguished 
by the sepals of its calyx cohering in the form of a cap, which is 
pushed off by the expanding petals. Capsule linear. Named 
after a botanist. The four or five species are all natives of North- 
western America. 
1. £. Califérnica.—This species was the first introduced. 
It is a straggling much-branched plant with large vase-shaped 
flowers, bright yellow in the typical form; but varieties with 
white, pinkish, paler yellow, and other tints are known. 
2. HE. tenwifolia.—A much smaller plant, with the segments 
of the leaves almost thread-like. Both are hardy and pretty, 
especially the former, and continue in flower for a long period. 
Sun-Orver Il—Fumarier. 
Petals 4, dissimilar. Stamens 6. 
8. DIELYTRA. 
Handsome erect, diffuse, or climbing perennials with much- 
divided leaves. Flowers in racemes, terminal, or opposite the 
leaves. Sepals 2, minute. Petals 4, the exterior oblong, con- 
eave, saccate or calearate at the base, and spreading at the 
top; the interior clawed, cohering at the tips, and keeled or 
winged at the back. Stamens 6, in two bundles opposite the 
outer petals, the filament of the middle stamen of each bundle 
spurred at the base or naked. Anthers of the middle stamens 
2-celled, of the lateral 1-celled. Ovary I-celled, with 2 pla- 
centas and many ovules. There are about a dozen species, 
natives of North America and North-western Asia. The name is 
from the Greek &/s, two, and 2Avtpov, a sheath, from the beau- 
tiful outer petals.
