Root fusiform, annual.
Stem erect, two or three feet high, green, cylindrical,
smooth, much branched, with the branches diva-
ricated, leafy.
Leaves all glaucous-green; the radical ones numerous,
disposed in a stellated manner, horizontal, a span
, or more in length, rough on both sides, petiolate,
oblong, furnished with a thick nerve, lyrato-pin-
natifid, the superior segments rounded, lobed, the
lobes sinuate, dentate, the teeth large ; the cau-
line leaves are alternate, distant, amplexicaul,
horizontally patent, ovato-rotundate, variously
lobed and sinuated, having the lobes acute, here
and there beset with large teeth, smooth beneath,
above, especially in the disk, rough.
Flowers large, showy, axillary and terminal. Peduncles
short, one-flowered.
Calyx of two leaves, the leaflets deciduous, ovate, acuminated
glaucous-green, externally clothed with
short rigid fasciculated hairs.
Corolla pentapetalous, petals rounded, expanded, undulate,
yellow.
Stamens numerous. Filaments, pale yellow. Anthers
- oblong, two-celled, yellow.
Ovary oblong. Style none. Stigma trigonous.
Pe r ica r p : Pod very long, nine inches and upwards,
1 flexuose, compresso-cylindrical, attenuated towards
the extremity, roughish, at length smooth,
brown, one-celled, two-valved, filled with a spongy
substance, altogether distinct from the substance
of the receptacle.
Receptacle in a double row, sutural, filiform, in part
placed between the margins of the valves.
Seeds generally lodged in small holes or pits on the surface
of the spongy substance, sometimes included
within it, numerous, small, brawn, shining, impressed
with quadrangular dots disposed in lines.
I ntegument coriaceo-membranaceous.
Albumen of the same shape as the seed, carnose, oily,
pale-coloured.
