(Fig. 286.) A cruciferous cap- sule is 2-carpelled, usually with a thin partition, each locule containing seeds in one or two rows. The two valves detach from below upwards. Cabbage, mustard, cress, shepherd's purse, sweet alyssum, wallflower, honesty, are examples. 319. The pericarp may be fleshy and indehiscent.
