ixioonworfc. 1 There is a good deal of variety in 
the forms of the, filicle kind of feed-veffel; that 
of lunaria is nearly round ; there are others 
which are oval: the fmall filicle of Ihepherd's 
purfe (thlafpi) is triangular, and notched at 
the top, and refembles a little heart; the cir- 
cumftancc of being notched or plain makes 
two divifions of the filicle order, and thence 
renders the inveftigation of the genera be- 
longing to it a lefs difficult talk. The feed- 
veffel of lady fmock (cardamine) is a Clique, 
and alfo that of radilh (raphanus).' Some of 
thefe Cliques form very pretty Ikeletons, in 
the manner of thofe holly leaves which have 
lain on the ground and been expofed ■ to the 
weather in winter. The Gxteenth clafs, Mo- 
nadelphia, or one-brother hood, is fo called 
from the flowers belonging to it having ail their 
ftamens united at the bafe into one company, 
lurrounding the piftils. The ftamens and 
piftils in the flowers of the, Gxteenth clafs 
form a beautiful part of the fructification ; 
they ftand like a little pillar in the centre of 
the flowers, from which circumflance Lin™ 
neus, in his Natural Orders, has named thefe 
flowers column-bearing. The anthers have a 
marked character, which contributes to their
