a species. But the differences separating it are very slight.

often long and branched at the top. Leaves all radical, on slender 
petioles 1-4in. long; blade }-lj in. long; quite smooth and glabrous, 
oblong or obovate, in small specimens sometimes entire, but usually 
pinnatifid with a very large terminal lobe and 1 or 2 pairs of small 
spreading lobes at its base. Flowering stems 1-3, few-flowered, naked ; 
pedicels slender, }-lin. long or more. Flowers large, sometimes nearly

This appears to me to be a perfectly distinct species, well marked by the peculiarly 
lobed leaves, large flowers, and the large pods with long slender styles. IL have 
gathered a very similar plant in the Upper Clarence Valley, but the specimens are 
too imperfect to pronounce upon.

Annual or more rarely perennial erect herb’? either glabrous or more

Petals with long claws. Style short; stigma 2-lobed. Pod long, slender, 
terete or slightly compressed; valves convex; septum membranous. 
Seeds usually numerous, not margined, in a single row in each cell; 
cotyledons incumbent. . 
A genus of about 60 species, widely spread in Europe and from thence to eastern 
Asia, and with a few representatives in most temperate countries. The single New 
Zealand species is endemic.
