FlcerJcea (lAmnanthes) Douglasii. dehiscing by two longitudinal clefts, reflexed and definitely extrorse after anthesis. The gynseceum is formed of five alternipetalous car- pels, with free unilocular ovary containing close to the base an ascendent anatropous ovule with micropyle turned downwards and outwards.^ From the base of the internal angle of each ovary springs a gynobasic style, which unites with the four others in an erect tube, only becoming free a little below the apex which is swollen to a stigmatiferous head. The fruit, accompanied by the persistent calyx, is formed of five achenes,^ with rugose exterior surface (fig. 53) each containing an ascendent seed whose coats cover a fleshy exalbuminous embryo, with short inferior radicle, hidden by the base of the cotyle- dons (fig. 54). The FlcerJcea proper only differ, as we have seen, from those of the section Limnanthes by the smaller number of their flower parts.
