. The natural history of plants. Botany. Fig. 132. Portion of inflorescence. Bupleurum plantaginifoUum, the two Americas. Hohenackeria, ordinarily placed near Bupleurum, consists of low from the Mediterranean and Caucasian regions, with simple linear and entire leaves, and capituliform inflorescences situated at the base of the stem. The fruit is in the form of a pitcher, sur- mounted by a receptacular neck which supports a calyx with simple or double spinescent sepals. The fruit as a whole is compressed perpendicular to the parti- tion and is surrounded by hard flattened primary ridges. The Corianders (fig. 134-139), often referred to another series because their fruit has primary and secondary ridges however little developed, appear to approach more nearly the preceding types from • their fruit being compressed perpen- dicular to the interlocular partition. They constitute a small sub-series (Goriandrem), with fruit as wide as or wider than long. In the true Gorian- drum, as G. sativuvi (fig. 134-138), the sepals and petals are very unequal, being more developed as they are anterior. The fruit is nearly globular, with mericarps very concave within as also the enclosed seed; the ex- terior surface is nearly smooth. In G. testiculatmn (fig. 139), type of a genus Bifora, the mericarps are sepa- rated from each other by a very marked constriction and form by their union a sort of double sphere. The face has an opening which connects the carpophore with the seeds. It is the same in Atrema, from North America, which is a Bifora with a less developed calyx, and in Astoma, a Levant plant, which has the fruit of Bifora, with sub- globular- mericarps, but more fleshy than that of the preceding types, and with an indefinite number of vittse. Schrenckia forms a, section of the Corianders, having the fruit of Bifora, with primary ridges a. Fig. 133. Trans, sect, of fruit (',»)..
