Nearly glabrous, or the leaves pilose. Stem 2-4 ft., erect, branched. Ultimate 

 segments of the lower leaves often 1-2 by \-\ in., serrate, of the upper narrower 

 sometimes linear. Bracts 0; rays 6-12, 1-2 in., glabrous or nearly so; bracteoles 

 1-2 g m., often ; pedicels 6-10, ^^-\ in. Fruit i-/^ in. ; carpels ellipsoid, almost 

 9 fl^^^^' ^^?ges slender, rarely white and conspicuous ; disc obsolete ; carpophore 

 2-fid, sometimes deeply. Seed nearly terete, not concave on the inner face.— Roxburgh's 

 description of Anethum trifoUatum, a native of the Circars, will apply to both P. 

 Heyfieana and diversifoUa. Wallich identified it with his trifoliata {diversifolia, BC.) 

 _ a Himalayan plant, but W. & A. with more probability refer it to P. Heyneana.
