Calyx-teeth obsolete; petals ovate with long inflected acumen, emar- 
ginate, hairy outside; filaments longer than the petals. Stylopods 
convex or conical, with 3 ridges and at base 5-lobed, glabrous. Fruit 
cylindrical, tomentose-hirsute, subterete or somewhat compressed 
dorsally ; primary ridges rounded; carpophore 0 (?); styles rather 
long, channelled ‘within ; stigmas punctiform. Vitte solitary between 
primary ridges, and 2 or 4 in each commissural face, conspicuous. 
Seeds dorsally compressed.—Stout perennial herbs, with erect, solid, 
terete and finely striate stems, glabrous except the umbels. Stem- 
leaves ternato-pinnately decompound with filiform or acicular subcylin- 
drical or compressed segments. Petioles wholly dilated and sheathing. 
Umbels regularl compound of many primary rays converging in fruit, 
and many secondary rays, terminal or subterminal on long or manifest 
stalks. Involucre of many lanceolate or lanceolate-oblong bracts, con- 
hate at the base, quickly glabrescent; involucels of many lanceolate 
bracteoles, connate at the base, as long as the pedicels. Receptacles of ©
