Gen. Char. Calyx (fig. 1.) inferior, erect; of 4, oblong, pa- 
rallel, converging, deciduous sepals ; two of them slightly prominent 
at the base. Corolla (fig. 2.) cruciform, of 4, inversely egg-shaped, 
or inversely heart-shaped, spreading petals, with strap-shaped, 
upright claws (see fig. 3). Filaments (fig. 4.) 6, tetradynamous, 
awl-shaped, simple, upright. Anthers (see fig. 4.) oblong, a little 
spreading. Glands (see fig. 4.) 4, 2 at the inside of the shorter 
filaments; 2 at the outside of the longer. Germen (see fig. 5.) 
cylindrical, tapering. Style awl-shaped. Stigma capitate (knobbed), 
small, entire. Pod f siliqua J (see fig. 6.) indehiscent, oblong, im- 
perfectly cylindrical, tapering upward, irregularly tumid, divided 
across into many cells, or separating into several pieces. Seeds in 
a single row, globose, pendulous. Cotyledons (see figs. 7 & 8.) 
rather thick, conduplicate (doubled together) [o > > .] 
The upright calyx ; and the tumid, imperfectly jointed pod , 
without valves ; will distinguish this from other genera, with con- 
duplicate cotyledons, in the same class and order. 
Two species British.

Charlock. White Charlock. 
Spec. Char. Leaves simply lyrate. Pods jointed, striated, of 
1 cell, from 3- to 8-seeded; longer than the style.
