compressed, girded by a smooth, winged, flattened, or rather con- 
vex, dilated, entire margin. Mericarps with 5 filiform ribs, rarely 
winged; lateral ribs contiguous to the dilated margin, or lost in it. 
Raphe marginal, hence the fruit is only furnished with 1 ming on 
each side, not with 2 wings, as in the last tribe, where the raphe 
ts central. Seed flattened, or rather convex on the back. 
91 Ovo’panax. Margin of calyx obsolete. Petals roundish, 
entire, involute, with an acutish point. Stylopodium broad, thick ; 
styles very short; mericarps with 3 dorsal, filiform, very slender 
ribs : the 2 lateral ones wanting, or not distinct from the margin ; 
vittze 3 in each furrow, and 6-10 in the commissure. Seed flat. 
—lInvolucra and involucels of many leaves. Flowers yellow. 
92 Fr’ruta. Margin of calyx with 5 short teeth. Petals 
ovate, entire, with an ascending or incurved point. Fruit 
girded by a dilated flat margin; mericarps with 3 dorsal filiform 
ribs : the 2 lateral ones very obsolete, or not distinct from the 
dilated margin; vittæ 3 or more in the dorsal furrows, and 4 or 
more in the commissure. Seed flat. Carpophore bipartite.— 
Involucra and involucels variable. Flowers yellow. 
93 Dore'ma. The large, cup-shaped, epigynous disk, and 
the solitary vittæ in the furrows of the fruit, distinguish this 
genus from Férula and Opépanax. The flowers being com- 
pletely sessile is also a remarkable character.

entire, with a short, incurved point (f. 56. E. f.). Fruit com- 
pressed (f.56. E. k.) from the back, girded by a thickish margin : 
the 3 dorsal ribs filiform: and the 2 lateral ones running into 
the thickish margin, which is spongy inside; furrows broad, 
2-3-striped, bearing 2-3 vitte in each; and the commissure is 
without vittee, but marked with a middle nerve and 2 marginal 
ones, rather hollow and tomentose between the nerves. Seed 
flattish.—Involucra and involucels wanting. Flowers yellow. 
95 Paxi’mBia. Margin of calyx obsolete. Petals elliptic, 
with an acute inflexed point. Fruit oblong or oval. Mericarps 
_ compressed from the back : with 5 filiform, bluntish ribs : 2 mar- 
ginal ones a little broader than the rest; vittze 3 in each furrow, 
and 2 broad ones in the commissure. Seed oblong, free, striped. 
—Involucrum few-leaved or wanting. Flowers cream-coloured. 
96 Peucepa‘num. Margin of calyx 5-toothed. Petals obo- 
vate, emarginate, or entire, with an inflexed point. Fruit girded 
by a flat margin; the 3 dorsal ribs filiform: and the 2 lateral 
ones more obsolete, contiguous to the dilated margin ; vitte in 
each furrow usually 1, and in the commissure 2. Carpophore 
bipartite. Seed flat in front.—Involucra variable in the different 
species ; involucels of many leaves. 
97 ĪMPERATÒRIA. All as in Peucedanum, but the margin of the 
calyx is obsolete.—Involucra wanting; involucels of few leaves. 
98 CALLISACE. Margin of calyx rather 5-toothed, or nearly 
- obsolete. Petals oval, with an incurved point. Fruit nearly 
orbicular, emarginate at the base, with a winged margin; the 3 
dorsal ribs obtuse and nerve-formed: the 2 lateral ones ex- 
panded into wings, which lie over the whole surface: vitte 1 
in each furrow, and 1 on each side of the commissure. Forks 
of carpophore adhering to the mericarps.—Involucra wanting, or 
of few leaves; involucels of many setaceous leaves.

UMBELLIFER#. 
99 Bu‘zon. Margin of calyx obsolete. Petals obovate, en- 
tire, with an acute involute point. Fruit girded by a flattened, 
dilated margin ; the 3 intermediate ribs filiform, and the 2 lateral 
ones going into the margins; vittee covering the whole seed, 4

flat in front and convex on the back.—Cape shrubs. Involucra 
and involucels of many leaves. Flowers greenish yellow. 
100 Ane‘ruum. Margin of calyx obsolete. Petals roundish, 
entire, with a rather square retuse point. Fruit girded by a flat 
margin; the 3 intermediate ribs acutely keeled, and the 2 lateral 
ones more obsolete, and running into the margin; vitte broad, 
solitary in the furrows, and filling them, and twin in the commis- 
sure. Seed rather convex on the back.—TInvolucra and invo- 
lucels wanting. Flowers yellow. 
101 Cértia. Teeth of calyx elongated, acute. Petals lan- 
ceolate, acuminated, entire. Stylopodium conical ; styles di- 
verging. Fruit elliptic, rather retuse at both ends ; ribs winged: 
lateral one the broadest; vittee 1 in each furrow, and 2 in the 
commissure, which is flat. Seed flattish—lInvolucra of 2-3 mul- 
tifid leaves ; involucels of 5 linear, entire, or 2-3-cleft leaves. 
102 Carnopuy’ttum. Margin of calyx obsolete. Petals ob- 
long, rather emarginate, tapering into an inflexed acumen. Fruit 
girded by a flat, dilated margin ; the 3 intermediate ribs thickish,

ticulated. Petals roundish, entire, involute, with a broad retuse 
point. Fruit compressed from the back, girded by a flat dilated
