Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Gynandropsis (Greek words: the stamens look as if they were borne on the ovary). Capparidaceae. Annual herbs grown out-of-doors.

This genus includes a tender plant with 5-7 lfts., and fls. resembling the spider flower, or Cleome. It is known to the trade at present as a Cleome, but Gynandropsis is distinguished by having a long torus (or receptacle), which is produced into a slender body (or gynophore) which is elongated at the middle, and bears the pistil to which the filaments are united. Cleome has a short torus, which often has an appendix on the back: stamens about 6 in Gynandropsis: in Cleome 4-6, often 10: lfts. 3-7: fls. white or purplish; sepals deciduous; petals entire or crenulate, obovate, with a slender claw: fr. a silique, usually inclosed within the calyx; seeds kidney-shaped or orbicular, compressed, with a wrinkled or tubercled coat.—The species of Gynandropsis are perhaps a dozen, in the warmer parts of the world. Pedicellaria is an older name for the genus, but it is not accepted by the "nomina conservanda" of the Vienna code. For cult., see Cleome.
