in pairs with divaricate cells, the upper stamens included in the tube ; filaments 
of the lower ones adnate almost to the throat, long and arched, with a broad 
appendage near the base. Style with 2 flat stigmatic lobes. Capsule globular, 
opening in 2 thin valves parallel to the broad thin dissepiment. — Erect herbs. 
Leaves opposite. Flowers large, pedicellate in the axils of small bract-like floral 
leaves, without bracteoles. 
The genus consists of only 3 closely allied species, 1 of them Australian, the other 2 from 
tropical Asia. It only differs from Vandellia in the larger flowers, broader calvx-segments, and 
in the shape of the staminal appendage. — Benth. 
1. A. fimbriatum (fringed), Don. in Sweet Brit. FI. Hard. ser. 2, t. 284; 
Heath. FI. Austr. iv. 1 0 5 . An erect rather course annual (or sometimes 
perennial) of 1 to 2ft., the angles of the stems and upper surface of the leaves 
scabrous, otherwise glabrous. Lower leaves petiolate and ovate-lanceolate, 
upper ones more sessile and lanceolate, sometimes very narrow, the larger ones 
2 to din. long, all more or less serrate or rarely entire. Flowers violet, in distant 
pairs, forming very loose terminal racemes, the floral leaves reduced to small 
bracts. Pedicels A to lin. long. Calyx-segments 8 to 4 lines long, the points 
usually recurved. Corolla above lin. long ; lobes broad and rounded, minutely 
and irregularly crenulate or jagged. Appendage of the lower filaments broad, 
rounded, and scale-like. Capsule 3 to 4 lines diameter.— Benth. in DC. Prod. x.

15. VANDELLIA, Linn. 
(After Dominico Vandelli.) 
Calyx either divided to the base into 5 narrow segments, or the segments more 
or less cohering into a short 5-toothed calyx. Corolla tubular at the base, the 
upper lip erect, shortly 2-lobed, the lower lip larger, spreading, 3-lobed. Perfect 
stamens 4, the anthers cohering in pairs, with divaricate cells, the upper stamens 
included in the tube; filaments of the lower ones adnate to the throat, long and 
arched, with an angle tooth or linear lobe near the base. Style with 2 flat 
stigmatic lobes. Capsule globular oblong or linear, opening in 2 entire valves 
parallel to the thin dissepiment. — Slender herbs, erect or diffuse and much- 
branched, glabrous or pubescent. Leaves opposite, undivided. Flowers opposite, 
or alternate by the abortion of one of each pair, axillary or in terminal racemes, 
the racemes sometimes contracted into umbels, without bracteoles. 
The genus comprises a considerable number of species, mostly common weeds in the tropical 
and subtropical regions of the Old World, two of them being also found in S. America. Of the 
4 following species, one is the commonest over the whole range of the genus ; the others 
appear to be all endemic. 
Calyx-segments united in a o-toothed calyx, at least at the time of flowering. 
Stems diffuse. Leaves ovate 1. V. Crustacea. 
Calyx-segments separate from the first. 
Leaves ovate, chiefly near the base of the stem. Plant glabrous. 
Corolla-tube rather longer than the calyx . 2. V. alsinoides. 
Corolla-tube fully twice as long as the calyx 3. V. scapipera. 
Leaves linear-subulate, few and mostly small - ... 4. V. suhulata. 
1. V. Crustacea (crustaceous), Benth. Scroph. Inti, and in DC. Prod. 
x. 413; FI. Austr. iv. 496. A diffuse much-branched annual, glabrous or 
with a very few small scattered hairs, usually not exceeding Oin. but attaining 
nearly lft. when very luxuriant. Leaves shortly petiolate, ovate, broadly crenate 
or almost entire, sometimes almost cordate at the base, from under Ain. to about 
}■ in. long. Pedicels usually b to nearly lin. long, axillary or forming loose leafy
