inserted in the tube, anth. and filaments about equal in length ; 
or style shorter than the cal., stam. inserted at the top of the 
tube, filaments 3 or 4 times as long as the anthers. The former 
of the varieties is apparently barren. The hilum being nearly 
terminal separates this plant from its allies, in all of which it is 
placed towards the middle of the seed. The tops of the valves 
of the caps, remain connected. — Ponds and ditches. P. V. VI.
