pinnate, or many times pinnate, or ternately divided. Umbels 
compound, terminal. Involucra variable; involucels of many 
leaves. Flowers white or yellow or greenish yellow. Accord- 
ing to Besser, the species with obcordate petals narrowed at the 
base are distinguished from the species with ovate petals, which 
are broadest at the base, and entire or a little emarginate at the 
apex. The first constitutes Oreoselinum, and the second the true 
species of Peucédanum.

In England, Gerarde says, it is called Horestrange and Hore- 
strong (or Harestrang, from the German Haarstrang), pa 
fennel or Hog’s-fennel, Sulphur-wort, and Brimstone-wort. x 
root wounded in spring yields a considerable quantity of a yel- 
low juice, which dries into a gummy resin, and retains the strong 
scent of the root. Many stimulating qualities have been attri- 
buted to the root, but it should seem to be rather dangerous for 
internal use.
