ized by flowers with two sepals, four petals, and a distinct 
style which bears from two to four erect lobes, and is per- 
sistent with the placentte after the fall of the valves and 
scrobiculate seeds from the ovoid, oblong, or linear, and 
commonly stalked capsule. There are 4 or 5 species, 2 in 
North America, the others in the Himalayas, Manchuria, 
and Japan. They are herbs with a perennial rootstock and 
ayellowjttice, bearing a few lobed or dissected tender stem- 
leaves, and usually others which are pinnatifld and radical.

which are nodding in the bad. S, diphyllum Is the cel-
