The family numbers about five hundred species, found mostly in the Tropics. The Trumpet-flower (^Teeoma radicans), as well as the common Catalpa ((7. higno- nioides), occurs both wild and cultivated in ^"^ the United States. The western Catalpa ((7. speoiosa) is much hardier than the preceding, and furnishes a rapid growing and durable wood. 4, Lentibulariaceae. The Bladder'wort family, comprising aquatic or marsh plants, of temperate and cold regions. The flowers are labi- ate, and spurred ; stamens two; ovary one-celled. The aquatic species (as Utricularia) have insect catching bladders (Fig. 309), others are also 310 insectivorous. 5. Scrophulariaceee. Figwort family; herbs or shrubs, rarely trees; corolla irregular (Figs. 310, 311); ovary two-celled. The two thousand species are widely distributed. The family is of little eco- nomic importance. The drug Digitalis is obtained from the Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) of Europe. Many cultivated species have showy flowers, as Snap- dragon {Antirrhinum), Monkey-flower {Mimulus), Veronica, etc. Paulownia im- perialis is a cultivated tree in the South- ern States, introduced from Japan.
