LXXXVII. SCROPHULARINEjE. 
Order LXXXVII. SCRQPHULARINEJE, 
Flowers irregular or seldom nearly regular. Sepals 5, either free or more 
frequently united in a toothed or lobed calyx. Corolla usually 2-lipped, but 
sometimes nearly regular, with 5 or rarely 4 or more than 5 lobes, more or less 
imbricate, and in one tribe folded in the bud. Stamens usually 2 or 4, in pairs, 
inserted in the tube and alternating with the lower lobes of the corolla ; the fifth 
stamen, between the 2 upper lobes, usually deficient or rudimentary or sterile, 
very rarely perfect ; anthers 2-celled or 1 -celled by the confluence of the cells or 
by the abortion of one of them, the cells opening longitudinally. Ovary 2-celled, 
with several ovules in each cell, attached to a single placenta in the centre of 
the dissepiment. Style simple with a 2-lobed or rarely entire stigma. Fruit a 
2-celled capsule or very rarely an indehiscent berry. Seeds with more or less of 
albumen, the testa usually reticulate or tubercular-rugose, sometimes crustaceous. 
Embryo straight or rarely curved. — Herbs or rarely shrubs or small trees. 
Leaves usually opposite (or verticillate) in the lower part of the plant, alternate 
higher up, but sometimes all alternate or all opposite, without stipules. Flowers 
in terminal racemes or cymes, or the lower ones, rarely all, axillary. Bracts 
small or none besides the floral leaves, bracteoles very rare. 
A large Order widely dispersed over every part of the globe.
