Observation. 
1 have thought it riglit to separate this very pretty plant from Diclylra and 
Adhma, and to form it into a distinct genus, approaching to them by its flow ers, but 
differing from all the Fumariacea* by its fleshy, indehiscent fruit. In habit it agrees 
most with the last mentioned, and with Cysticapnos. 1 have denominated it from the 
figure of its fleshy, oblong, subcylindric berries.

Observation. 
This plant varies in stature from one to three feet. All its green parts are glau¬

are furnished with a few tooth lets. The fruit is club-shaped, about halt an inch long, 
terminated by the persistent, naked style, and turgid with many black, shining, reni- 
form seeds.
