A group recognized by the pres- ence of corneous endosperm at the sides of the Isernel, the starchy endosperm extending to the summit. By the drying and shrinkage of the starchy matter the summit of the liernel is drawn in or together, and indented in various forms. In different varieties the corneous endosperm varies in height and thickness, thus determining the char- acter of the indented sur- ZELKOVA striped: fls. about 2, rose-red, contained in two boat- shaped bracts, one of which is much smaller than the other. Mexico.—A very common greenhouse plant, much used for baskets and for covering the ground un- derneath benches. Commonly confused with Trades- cantia flun Fig. 785, and some- with Conime- lina nudiflora. See Tradescantia. The Ivs. of Z. pendula seem never to be green. They vary somewhat in color. All forms are easily grown, and they propagate readily from pieces of 2783. Flower stem. Var. guadri- of Zebrina color, Voss (Tra- descdufia quadri- color and T. viulti- co/o)-, Hort.).

Through the uniformity of the shrink- age in ripening there is usu- ally no indentation, yet in some varieties an indentation may more or less frequently appear, but splitting the ker- nel infallibly determines the Var. aaccharita {Z. saccha- rAta, Sturt.).
