 lucida, on which alone this genus is founded, being dillin- 

 guiihed by having a berry inftead of a capfule, as is r'einarked 

 in the place indicated. We have not had an opportunity of 

 examining wliether this be really the cafe, or whether it be 

 a capfule with or without a pulpy coat ; nor do we know 

 how far WiUdenow's fuggeftion, that all the Cape fpeciea 

 poffibly have a fimilar feed-veifel, is well founded.

TEESDALIA, in Botany, received that name from 

 Mr. R. Brown, in memory of the late Mr. Robert Teef- 

 dale, F.L.S., who died on Chriflmas^lay, 1804. This 

 accurate EngUfli botanift was, for many years, a feedfman 

 in the Strand, but retired from bufinefs fome time before his 

 death, refiding firft at Ranclagh, near Chelfea, and after- 

 wards at Tumham-Grecn. He was the author of " Planttc 

 Eboracenfes ; or a Catalogue of the more rare Plants, which 

 ^ow wild in the neighbourhood of Caftle Howard, in the 

 North Riding of Yorkfliire, difpofed according to the Lin- 

 .lajan Syflem ;" publiflied in the Tranfaftions of the Lin- 

 isan Society, v. 2. 103. The author compofed this cata-

Petiv. Herb. Brit. t. 50. f. 2.)— Petals unequal Native 



of dry gravelly fituations in the northern parts of Europe, 

 flowering in April or May. It occurs about London, Nor- 

 wich, and Bury, but is not a general Englifli plant. The 

 root is fmall, tapering, annual. Herb vaiying much in luxu- 

 riance and number of ftalks. Leaves feveral, almofl en- 

 tirely radical, pinnatifid in a lyrate manner, (talked, rough- 

 ifli principally at the edges. Stalks unbranched ; the cen- 

 tral one always ereft and naked ; the reft afcending, fpread- 

 ing or decumbent, often bearing a leaf or two. Floviert 

 white, very fmall, corymbofe. Calyx fmooth, often pur- 

 phfli. Two inner or upper petals as long as the calyx ; 

 outer ones full twice as long ; all entire. The remarkable 

 fcales on t\\cjlamens were firft particularly noticed in Englifh 

 Botany. On thefe Mr. Brown founds liis principal generic 

 charafter, omitting the irregularity of the petals, in which 

 this plant agrees with Iberis, though very little in its habit, 

 which is rather that of a Lepidium. (See thofe articles.) 

 The writer of the prefent article has, in the Tranfaftions of 

 the Linnsean Society above quoted, critically inveftigatcd 

 the hiftory of this fpecies and the following, and has fak 

 brought them together under one genus.

 cifely refembling the foregoing, except in being ufually ra- 

 ther lefs luxuriant, that it is fcarcely poffible to diftingui/h 

 them, except by thcjloiuers. 'V\k petals of the prefent are 

 all of equal fize, fpreading, longer than the calyx. Sta- 

 mens only four, two at eacli broad fide of the gcmici:, each 

 bearing a white expanded fcale, as in the T. nudUaulii ; the 

 two ftiorter, or more fpreading^flmc/u entirely wanting. It 

 is much to be wilhed that feeds of this fpecies could be pro- 

 cured from Montpelher, that we might compare both ia
