ous herbs. Leaves pinnate, pinnre toothed. Umbds compound termi- 

 ^ and lateral ; bracts and bracteoles several. Calyx-teeth acute, or obsolete. 

 Petals white, emarginate. Fruit ovoid or oblong, laterally compressed, con- 

 stricted at the commissure (but the constriction masted in the Indian species 

 V the large corky lateral ridges) ; primary ridges prominent, obtuse, frequently 

 thickened ; furrows 3-2- (or 1-) vittate ; carpophore (ex DO.) completely bi- 

 ^^artite, each half adnate to the adjoining mericarp. Seed terete. — Distrib.
