3 A. INTERMEDIUM (D.C, prod. 4, p. 113.) plant glabrous ; 
leaves all decompound, many-parted, greenish ; segments cut or 
toothed: lower ones cuneated : upper ones linear-subulate, ser- 
rated, and ending in long taper points. ©. H. Native of the 
Pyrenees, and the kingdom of Naples. A. glaucif dlium, Lapeyr. 
fl. pyr. p. 144. An intermediate plant between 4. glaucifolium 
and 4. Visnaga. It differs from the first in the leaves being 
greenish, not glaucous, and in being tripinnate ; from the last 
in the lobes or leaflets of the upper leaves being much acumin- 
ated and serrated, and in the umbel spreading after flowering.

fid; lobes linear; umbels opposite the leaves, pedunculate ; 
leaves of involucels numerous, with scarious margins, and are 
rather scabrous, as well as the rays; some of the leaves of the 
involucra are trifid at the apex. ©.H. Native of Portugal,

Sison pùmilus, Brot. fl. lus. 1. p. 425. Fruit, according to 
Brotero, like that of parsley. Lower leaves like 4. glaucifolium. 
Petals obovate, unequally obcordate. Herb a foot high, not 
dwarf. This is joined by Sprengel with Ptychotis verticillata, but 
it is very distinct from that plant; but from the obsolete teeth of 
the calyx, and from the leaves of the involucrum being sometimes 
trifid, it comes nearest to the present genus, although it may 
hereafter form a proper genus, from the fruit being much more 
angular ?

of involucrum linear or rarely trifid; young fruit rather scabrous 
from adpressed short hairs. ©.H. Native of Africa, proba-

leaves ; leaves ternately tri-pinnatifid : ultimate segments lanceo- 
late, very acute, trifid; umbels with 6-8 rays; leaves of involu- 
cra bipinnate : having the lobes or leaflets linear, and deeply 
toothed. ©.?H. Native of South America, but in what place 
is unknown. Plant small. Schlecht in litt. Petioles 3 to 4 
inches long. Rays of umbel stiff, angular, shorter than the 
involucrum. Leaves of involucel pinnatifid or trifid. Fruit 
ovate, compressed from the sides, glabrous; styles short, di- 
verging. Ribs of mericarps rather prominent, having the fur- 
rows between the ribs furnished with 1 vitta each, and the com- 
missure with 2 vittee.

11 A.? Pyrena'tcum (Lapeyr abr. p. 145.) stem glabrous, 
flexuous ; leaves somewhat bipinnate ; lobes or leaflets entire or 
cut, ultimate ones decurrent ; leaves of involucels setaceous or 
trifid, twice the length of the umbellules. ©. H. Native of 
the Pyrenees, in fields about Madres and St. Beat. The petals 
are said by La Peyrouse to be rounded (arrondis) which indicates 
that the plant does not belong to this genus.
