(1843), Diagnosis.—Cortusal Exogens, with stamens opposite the petals, a cap)sular many-seededfncit, 1 style, and a herbaceous stem. Annual or perennial herbaceous plants, sometimes almost shrubby. Leaves usuallyradical; otherwise both whorled and opposite or alternate. Stipules 0. Flowers eitheron radical scapes and in umbels, or variously arranged m the axils of the leaves. Calyx. Fig. CCCCXXX. 5-cleft, seldom 4-cleft, inferior, or half superior, regular, persistent. Corolla monope-talous, hypogynous, regular ; the limb 5-cleft, seldom 4-cleft; very rarely 0. Stamensinserted upon the corolla, equal in number to its segments, and opposite them. Ovary1-celled; style 1; stigma capitate ; ovules usually-^imphitropal, rarely anatropal. Capsuleopening with valves; placenta central, distinct. Seeds numerous, peltate; embryo includedwithin fleshy albumen, and lying across the hilum; radicle ^vith no determinate monopetalous corolla having the stamens opposite its lobes, the composite natureof the ovary, whose placenta is free and central, and the position of the embryo acrossthe hilum, afford ample means for recognising the Order of Primworts, unless they arecompared with Ardisiads ; from which it is so impossible todistinguish them by any
