vided, their segments lanceolate or linear, acute. In specimens

more spreading. In Jersey specimens the 1. are ovate and short, 
and their segments short broad and bhmtish. — \_E. jnmpinella-

into a hypogynous ring with intermediate teeth (abortive sta- 
mens). Ovaiy with about as many cells and styles as the sepals, 
stigmas capitate. Caps, generally tipped with the hardened base 
of tbe styles, with 4 — 5 complete disse])iments (of 2 membranes),

cell, pendulous, with albumen. — L. without stipules, alternate.
