Obs. Though this species deviates remarkably from the character 

 of the genus,?in having its seeds uniseriate, yet is it in every other res- 

 pect a true Mroicandia, and so like the original species as not to be 

 distinguished from it at first sight. The seeds are much larger than in 

 M. arvensis, and this has probably caused the suppression of the op- 

 posite ovules , for they do not seem to abort, as there are no traces 

 of their previous existence in the ovarium. The ovules are placed 

 farther apart, the pod is narrower , and they have thence arranged 

 themselves one after the other. I have likewise met with uniseriate 

 pods in M. arvensis, the character therefore is not important. Mo- 

 ricandia modified to admit this new inmate will still differ from 

 Brassica (and a part of Sinapis Auctt. ) by its purple flowers, its 

 ovoide or elliptical subemarginate seeds, and its general habit, and 

 above all by its stigma decurrent exteriorly on each side of the style ^
