Fruit consisting of several follicles, opening bythe sutme, or collected into a capsule of several cellsopening at the back. Seeds attached to the margins ofthe suture, variable in number ; embryo straight, in theaxis of fleshy albumen, with the radicle pointing to the hUum. All these plants are remarkable for the succulent nature of their stems and leaves, inwhich they resemble many other and very different Orders, De Candolle suggests thattheir real affinity is with Saxifrages tln-ough Penthorum, and with Knotworts (Illecebracece)tlirough Tillsea. In both those Orders the hypogynous scales of Houseleeks are Fig. CCXXXVI.
