Diagnosis.—Piperal Exogens, with a solitary carpel, an erect ovule, an embryo lying invitellus, and opposite or alternate leaves, with or without stipules. Shrubs or herbaceous plants. Stems articulated. Leaves opposite, verticillate, oralternate in consequence of the abortion of one of the pair of leaves ; stipules 0, or in I 2. Fig. CCCLI. pairs, or single and opposite the leaf. Flowers usuallysessile, sometimes pedicellate, in spikes which are eitherterminal, or axillary, or opposite the leaves, naked, p,with a bract on the outside. Stamens 2 or more, arrangedon one side or aU round the ovary ; anthers 1- or 2-celled, with or ^\-ithout a fleshy connective ; pollen round-ish, smooth. Ovary free, simple, 1-celled, containing asingle erect, orthotropal owile ; stigma sessile, simple,rather obhque. Fruit free, somewhat fleshy, indehiscent,1-celled, 1-seeded. Seed erect, mth the embryo l}ing ina fleshy sac placed at the apex of the seed, on the outsideof the albumen. However distinct the exogenous and endogenousforms of vegetation may be in the majority of the plantsreferred to those classes, it is v/ell knowTi that in certaincases such differences are much enfeebled.
