Gen. CtfAR. Calyx (see fig. 1.) inferior, of 1 sepal, turbinate* 
wrinkled, 4- or 5-cleft, permanent, coloured on the inner side* 
Corolla none. Filaments (see figs. 1 & 2.) as many as the seg- 
ments of the calyx, and twice as long, inserted into the tube oppo- 
site to each segment. Anthers upright, short, with 4 furrows, and 
2 cells, bursting lengthwise externally. Germen (fig. 3.) superior, 
elliptic-oblong, compressed, cloven at the summit. Styles (see fig. 3.) 
2, terminal, spreading, shorter than the calyx, finally bent inwards. 
Stigmas along the inner edge of the style, downy, permanent. 
Capsule (fig. 4.) compressed, with a membranous wing all round, 
(hence a Samara), orbicular or somewhat oblong, with a notch at 
the extremity, of 1 cell, not bursting. Seed (fig* 5.) solitary, cen- 
tral, roundish, slightly compressed. 
The inferior, monosepalous, 4- or 5-cleft, permanent calyx ; and 
the compressed, 1-celled, 1 -seeded capsule, winged all round ; will 
distinguish this from other genera, without a corolla, in the same 
class and order. 
Seven species British. 
U'LMUS MONTA'NA. Mountain Elm. Scotch Elm. Wych 
Elm. Broad-leaved Elm. Wych Hazel. 
Spec. Char. Leaves inversely egg-shaped, pointed, doubly and 
coarsely serrated, wedge-shaped and nearly equal at the base, al- 
ways exceedingly rough above, evenly downy beneath. Branches 
not corky, ash-coloured, smooth. Fruit somewhat orbicular, slightly 
cloven, naked.
