FAVILL^F. A term applied by algolo- 

 gists to those capsules in Algce in which 

 the nucleus, consisting of many spores, is 

 formed within a single mother-cell, as in 

 Ceramium. When several contiguous cells 

 are fertile, the group is called afavillidium. 

 Sometimes a coccidium, when enclosing a 

 multitude of nuclei, or favilla?, is called a 

 favillidium. [M. J. B.]

FEATHERY. Consisting of long hairs 

 which are themselves hairy, as the pappus 

 of Leontodon Taraxacum. 



FEDIA. A genus of small succulent 

 annuals belonging to the Valerianacea?, 

 distinguished from Valeriana by having 

 the fruit crowned with unequal teeth in- 

 stead of a feathery pappus. There are 

 several British species all of similar habit, 

 growing from six to eight inches high.with 

 slender repeatedly-forked stems, oblone 

 spathulateleaves, and very minute whitish 

 flowers, some few of which are solitary in 

 the upper forks of the stem, the rest 

 crowded into terminal leafy heads. F. 

 olitoria, Corn Salad, or Lamb's Lettuce, is 

 the most frequent, and is a common weed 

 in cornfields and other cultivated ground. 

 Under the names of Mache, Bour.vAtc, 

 Doucette,K\\6. Blanch ette, this species is still 

 commonly cultivated on the continent; as 

 well as another species with large leaves 

 called Mache d' Italic or Regeuce. The genus 

 Fedia is included by some botanists under 

 Valerianella. [C. A. J.] 



FEEA. A small genus of hymenophylloid 

 ferns, separated from Trichomanes by their 

 dimorphous fronds, and from Hymeno- 

 stachys, which has dimorphous fronds, by 

 their free veins. They are dwarf tropical 

 subpellucid plants, with the sterile fronds 

 pinnatifld or pinnate, and the fertile ones 

 reduced to a mere spike with marginal 

 cyolis containing the spore-cases. [T. MJ 



FEELER-WORT. Catasetum. 



FELICIA. A genus of Composites, sepa- 

 rated from Aster chiefly by its short uni- 

 serial withering pappus, the hairs of which 

 are filiform, flexuose, and serrulate. They 

 are herbs orsuffruticose plants of the Cape 

 of Good Hope, with branching stems, nar- 

 row alternate leaves, and flower-heads 

 with usually white or blue rays. One of 

 the species, F. Unella, is sometimes cul- 

 tivated among annuals under the name of 

 Aster tenellus. [T. M.] 



FELLEUS. Bitter as gall. 



FELWORT. Sivertia; also an old name 

 for Gentiana lutea. 



FELOUGNE. (Fr.) Chelidonium majus. 



FENDLERA. The shrub so named in 

 honour of a well-known botanical collector, 

 belongs to the order Philadelphacece. The 

 tube of the calyx is marked with eight 

 ridges, the limb four-parted ; petals four, 

 deltoid, stalked, irregularly notched : sta- 

 mens eight, the filament prolonged be- 

 yond each side of the anther, into a linear 

 lobe, and the anthers provided with a
