65. WATEBLEAF FAMILY. Order HYDROPHYTE ACEiE. 
Herbs with lobed, compound, or toothed and mostly alternate leaves ; the regular flowers 
much like those of the Borrage Family, except as to the ovary, which is globular and only 
one-celled and bears the 
few or many ovules and 
seeds on the walls (pari- 
etal), or on two projections 
from them. In Waterleaf, 
Nemophila, &c., the two 
placentas, bearing the few 
seeds, broaden and make 
a kind of lining to the 
pod. Corolla bell zhaped 
or wheel-shaped ; its lobes and the stamens always 5. Style 2-cleft above. The Water- 
leaf furnishes our principal plants of the family that are common wild. But some Ne- 
mophilas and Phacelias, from Texas and California, are showy garden annuals. 
Leaves opposite, at least the lower ones. Stamens not projecting beyond the corolla. 
Calyx without appendages or teeth between the divisions, large in fruit, ( Ellisia ) Ellisia. 
Calyx with 5 reflexed teeth between the divisions, ( Nemophila ) ^Nemophila. 
Leaves alternate : appendages of the calyx none or minute : stamens long. 
Mostly annuals : seeds on the walls of the pod, or two narrow placentas, ( Phacelia ) Phacelia. 
Perennials, with scaly-toothed rootstocks. Seeds 1 to 4, enclosed in a membrane 
which lines the pod. Flowers white or bluish, clustered: filaments 
bearded below, ( Hydrophyllum ) Waterleaf.
