Flowers pale yellow, sparingly dotted with reddish-brown, or sometimes dot- less, I2'-I5' long; saccate sepal dilated-conic, about as broad as long, abruptly contracted into a short scarcely incurved notched spur, less than one-third its length; bracts of the pedicels lanceolate to ovate, acute.

Sepals 2—5, valvate, persistent. Petals the same number as the sepals, alternating with as many small glands, the nearly perigynous stamens twice as many, distinct. Filaments filiform; anthers 2-celled, the sacs longitudinally dehiscent. Carpels as many as the sepals and opposite them, i-ovuled, nearly distinct, the single slender style arising from the centre as in Geraniaceae, cleft above into as many stigmas as there are carpels; ovule ascending. Fruit very deeply 2-5-lobed, the carpels indehiscent, rough or tubercled. Embryo straight; endosperm none; coty- ledons thick. Two North .\merican genera, the following, and Limnanthes. of the Pacific States, with about 9 species. The family was placed in the order Sapindales in our first edition, but is here brought into its more natural place in the I. FLOERKEA Willd. Neue Schrift. Ges. Nat. Fr. 3; 448. 1801. Annual diffu
