plant has the appearance of a species of Ligústicum. Fruit 
winged, as in Peucédanum, sect. 1v. but the calycine teeth are 
obsolete, and the involucrum is wanting, as in the other species 
of Imperatoria. 
Caucasian Masterwort. Pl. 1 to 2 feet. 
4 I. Mexica‘na (Hort. Chelsea). 2%.H. Native of Mexico. 
A broad-leaved species, received by Mr. Anderson, of the 
Chelsea Botanic Garden, from Mr. Otto, of the Botanic Garden 
at Berlin, in the year 1818, but it has not yet flowered. It may 
prove hereafter to belong to a distinct genus.

Lin. syst. Pentdndria, Digynia. Margin of calyx some- 
what 5-toothed or nearly obsolete. Petals oval, acuminated, 
incurved. Fruit compressed on the back, winged on the mar- 
gin, nearly orbicular, emarginate at the base. Mericarps with 
3 blunt, dorsal, nerve-formed ribs; the 2 lateral ribs expanded 
into wings, which cover the whole surface of the fruit. Vittæ 
1 in each dorsal furrow, which are narrow, and 1 on each side 
of the commissure at the margins. Parts of carpophore adnate 
to the mericarps. Seed complanate.—A perennial herb, with 
the habit of Angélica or Ostéricum. Sheaths of leaves large : 
upper ones leafless. Umbels pubescent, of many rays. Invo- 
lucra none, or of few leaves. Umbellules dense, many-flowered. 
Involucels of many setaceous leaves. Flowers white. This is 
an intermediate genus between Angélica and Imperatoria.

selinum Dahtricum, Spreng. syst. 1. p. 894. Habit of Osté- 
ricum praténsis, but more branched, firmer, and thicker in the

more deeply serrated, the sheaths larger and inflated, and the 
involucrum composed of one or two leaves.

lete. Petals obovate, entire, with an acute involute point. Fruit 
lenticularly compressed from the back, girded by a dilated com- 
planate margin. Mericarps with 5 ribs at equal distances: the 
3 intermediate ones filiform: and the 2 lateral ones lost in the 
complanate margins. Vittze covering the whole seed, 4 on the 
back and 2 in the commissure. Carpophore bipartite. Seed 
rather convex, flattish in front.—Quite smooth shrubs, natives 
of the Cape of Good Hope, abounding in a gummy, resinous, 
sweet-scented juice. Stems terete. Leaves biternate, glaucous, 
stiffish ; leaflets toothed or pinnatifid ; petioles sheathing. Um- 
bels compound, of many rays. Involucra and involucels of 
many linear leaves. Flowers greenish yellow.

Stem with purplish bark, covered with whitish powder.: This 
was formerly supposed to be the plant which yielded the drug 
called gum galbanum; but it has lately been discovered to be 
the produce of quite a different plant, a native of Persia, now 
called Galbanum officinale.

these shrubs; but they can only be propagated by seed.

Petals roundish, entire, involute, with a somewhat quadrate re- 
tuse point. Fruit lenticularly compressed from the back, girded 
by a complanate margin. Ribs of mericarps filiform, at equal 
distances: the 3 intermediate ones acutely keeled : and the 2 
lateral ones more obsolete, and running into the flattened mar- 
gin. Vittæ broad, solitary in the furrows, and filling them, but 
twin in the commissure. Seed rather convex, flattish in front. 
—Annual, erect, glabrous herbs. Leaves decompound, with 
linear-setaceous lobes. Involucra and involucels wanting. 
Flowers yellow, nearly like those of Pastindca. :

following, according to Brotero; but it differs from it in the 
mericarps being almost without a margin, and in being rather 
more convex on the back, and therefore holds an intermediate 
station between Anéthum and Feeniculum.
