In HypecoumEichler assumes a cohesion of each pair of opposite stipular stamens so as to form anapparent whorl of four stamens. Eichler also deduces the flowers of Gruciferae and Cleomeae (a section of Cappa-rideae) from a type represented by Fig. 381 A, which is also the empirical diagram forCleome droserafolia, and for certain species of Lepidium, Senebiera, and Capsella. Thistypical flower consists of two lower median sepals, two upper lateral sepals, four diagonal petals in one whorl, two lower lateral stamens, two upper median stamens, two lateral carpels. Deviations from this type are produced by the formation of two or more stamens inplace of each of the upper
