Botany. 610. Linaria. Fruit. whicli leave the placentas in their places {Walljlower, fig. 647; Chelidonium, fig. 546). la some syncarpous fruits, the dehiscence is by valvules or teeth, variously placed, which, by diverging or ascending, form openings for the seeds to escape {Primrose, Lychnis, fig. 642; Snapdragon, fig. 645; Harebell, fig. 544; Poppy, fig. 643). Dehiscence is transverse {d. transversalis) vrhen a compound ovary is halved transversely {Pim- pernel, fig. 537; Henbane, fig. 539; Purslane, fig. 538; Plantain);— as also when apocarpous fruits break up transversely into one- seeded segments {Goronilla, Sainfoin, fig. 518). Dehiscence is irre- gular {d. ruptilis) in fruits with resisting septa and dorsal sutures, but uniformly thin walls; thus, the pericarp of some Linarias (fig. 510) splits into longitudinal ribbons; the fruit of Momordica, Wild Cucumber, &c., rupture thus elastically. Classification of Fruits.—Many authors have attempted this; but their efforts, though resulting in many valuable scientific observations, have sometimes given rise to a very obscure botanical terminology. Linnaeus admitted five sorts of fruit; Gaei-tner, thirteen; Mirbel, twenty-one; Desvaux, forty-five; Richard, twenty-four; Dumortier, thirty-three; Lindley, thirty-six. The following classification, adapted from these several authors, appears to us the simplest and easiest of application; it includes most of the modifications of
