 probably resembling that of C Carui, but may become broad at the commissure 

 ■when it may be referable to Fceniculum.

 ^(dyx'teeth minute. Fr^dt rather more strongly ribbed than that of C. Carui, less 

 Harrowed upwards; carpophore 2-partite. — There is little doubt regarding the genus 

 of this plant, it having been originally referred to Piychotis by Sir J. D. H. and 

 saving been again dissected by Bentham and marked Carum. The doubt is as to 

 Its birth-place ; it is marked '' Ceylon," but not on an original ticket, and there is no 

 collector's name. Its aspect is Alpine Himalayan, not at all Cinghalese. There is 

 Mother small specimen collected by T. Lobb in Mysore that seems the same thing.
