The Cress Family, for instance, is plainly of one miiUl anil patleni. So is the Unibcllifer I'amily. The Madder Family on the other hand, is made up of several tril)fs that are ap])are'itly mure distinct than some families. Yet a study of the parts of the flowers bring out their relationship ckarly. No out imid su])posc that the climber with .^howy scarlet and yellow flowers familiar in cultivation, the Manetlia, is a nlative of the homely. \veakstemm<.<i Hedstraws, or of the noble Cinchonas. In tracing; back the tips of branches to the trunk of the tree of life, the !)olanist often finds a flower's " long lost brother " where the ordinary observer would never suspect even remote kinship. Belonging to the trii)e of the Dedstraw.'^, is the rather homely and weed like Richardsonia, .sometimes known as False Ipecac. This is a rough little plmt, covered all over with hairs. The tiny whi'Jsh flowers are densely clustered ⢠' the .sununit of the stems, protected by the iipperniiist pair of leaves, which are luiited at base into a sort of cup. Richardsonia Scabra is a native of tropical America, sometimes straying northward. It is somewhat .sparingly introduced into the South Atlantic and Gulf States. In .some legalities it is known to the people as " Mexican Clover," s cattle are fond of it. BLADDERWORT. FImetseii. iti:wileit into^'ine. eoptltoiv ilitmoni. ttiese ttenting
