. A general system of botany, descriptive and analytical. In two parts. Part I. Outlines of organography, anatomy, and physiology. Part II. Descriptions and illustrations of the orders. By Emm. Le Maout [and] J. Decaisne. With 5500 figures by L. Steinheil and A. Riocreux. Translated from the original by Mrs. Hooker. The orders arranged after the method followed in the universities and schools of Great Britain, its colonies, America, and India; with additions, an appendix on the natural method, and a synopsis of the orders, by Hooker. Botany. Ti'ibuUis terrestris. Trihulus. Vertical section of flower (mag.).. Calyx 4-5-merows, generally imbricate. Petals hypogynous, usually imbricate. Stamens usually double the number of the petals, hypogynous ; filaments usually with a scale inside. Otakt several-celled. Fruit a loculicidal capsule, septicidally dividing into cocci. Embeto exalbuminous, or enclosed in a cartilaginous albumen.—Scentless plants. Leaves opposite, pinnate, stipulate. Herbs, shrubs or trees ; branches often divaricate and jointed at the nodes. Leaves opposite, or alternate from the suppression of one, stipulate, compound, sometimes pinnate or imparipinnate, sometimes 2- (rarely 1-) foliolate {Zygophyllum); petiole sometimes flattened and winged; leaflets sessile, entire, not punctate, often inequilateral, flat, or fleshy, or terete; stipules geminate at the base of the petioles, persistent, sometimes spinescent. Elcwees 5, regular or irregular, white, red or yellow, rarely blue; peduncles usually 1-2, springing from the axil of the stipules, 1-flowered, ebracteate. Sepals 5-4, usually persistent, free, rarely connate at the base, Eestivation imbricate or very rarely valvate {Seetzenia). Petals 6-4, very rarely 0 [Seetzenia), hypogynous, free, Eestivation usually imbricate, sometimes contorted {Zygophyllum); dish hypogynous, convex or depressed, rarely annular (Trihulus), sometimes inconspicuous {Fagonia, Guaiacum, &c.), or 0 (Seetzenia).
