termediate one trifid; all are

umbel. 4. H. Native of the

13 S. crave oLens (Poepp. diar. no. 222. pl. exsic. no. 93.) 
leaves bipinnate-parted ; segments pinnatifid : lobes obtuse ; 
flowering branches elongated, nearly naked, trifid at the apex ; 
umbellules by threes, on short peduncles ; flowers 12-15 in each 
umbellule ; male ones nearly sessile : female one central. %. 
Native of Chili. Leaves almost like those of Scrophularia 
Canina, Umbels truly compound. Flowers yellowish in the 
dried state. Petals cuneate, emarginate, having the segment 
at the top reflexed. Filaments of young stamens inflexed. 
Styles very long. Male flowers more numerous in the umbels 
„than the sessile female flowers. Calyx of the male flowers 
smooth, of the female echinated.

root. Some of the species being natives of warm climates, will 
require to be protected in winter.
