Tribe XIV. 
CAUCALINES (this tribe contains plants agreeing with 
Catcalis in important characters), or Campylospérme multiju- 
gatee armàtæ, Koch, umb. p. 79. D.C. prod. 4. p. 216. Fruit 
contracted from the sides or nearly terete. Mericarps with 5 
filiform primary bristly or prickly ribs: the lateral ones placed in 
the commissure, which is flat ; and 4 secondary more prominent, 
prickly ribs, or they are obliterated from the copious prickles 
covering the whole furrows. Seed involute or inflexed on the 
margin. Caucalinee is allied on one hand to Daucinee, and on 
the other to Scandicinee.
