Exacrnn nlifbroie, 8m. Eng. Bot. No. 233. 
Stem slender, slightly branched, but not from the base, or 
simple ; branches erect, simple or nearly so. Leaves very short, 
linear-subulate, acute. Flowers solitary, at the extremity of the 
stem and branches, so remote that they are better described 
as solitary flowers, although they are really disposed in a very 
lax cyme. Calyx 4-toothed ; teeth divided scarcely one-third of 
the way down, deltoid, acute. Tube of the corolla rather longer 
than the calyx-segments ; limb of 4 oval-ovate obtuse segments, 
about as long as the tube. Capsule oval-ovoid, longer than the 
calyx-segments. 
In damp places in sandy bogs. Rare. Confined to the coun- 
ties of Cornwall, Devon, Pembroke, Dorset, Hants, and Sussex. 
Glengarriff and Cork, Ireland. 
England, Ireland. Annual. Summer, Autumn. 
An upright plant, with thread-like stems 2 to 8 inches high ; 
the leaves -^ to J inch long, very distant ; the fruiting-peduncles 
1 to 2 inches long. Corolla-tube J inch long. Flowers yellow. 
Capsule brown, about y inch long, very much more bulky than in 
the preceding species, from which C. filiformis differs remarkably 
in the calyx-segments not being free to the base, but merely form- 
ing sinalf teeth at the top of a cupshaped tube. Plant glabrous. 
Slender Cicendia. 
GENUS III.—C ELORA. Linn. 
Calyx 8- to 6-partite or cleft ; segments not winged. Corolla 
widely funnelshaped-rotate, persistent and withering ; tube very 
short, sub-globular ; segments 8 to 6, divided nearly to the base. 
Stamens 8 to 6 ; anthers exserted, not spirally twisted after the 
pollen is shed. Style distinct, bifid, deciduous ; stigmas generally 
bi-lobed. Capsule ovoid, 1-celled, scpticidally dehiscing by 2 valves, 
with the placentae parietal and sutural. Seeds numerous, minute.
