ii; Himalaya, from Kashmir to Sikkim; alt. 5000-12,000 ft., frequent. Khasia 

 Mts., alt. 4000-6000 ft., frequent. 



-^'..- Root fusiform. Stem 1-4 feet, erect, branched, always hispid below, often hairv 

 upward. Leaves large, secondary pinnae of the upper pinnate or pinnatifid, ultimate 

 segments scarce \ in., with 2-4 lanceolate teeth, often with scattered hairs; segments 

 of the lowest often 1-3 by 1 in. pinnatifid scarceljj^ half-way down; upper sheaths 

 usually inflated, hairy, with prominent white margins. Bracts ; rays 3-6, 1-3 in., 

 Btout; bracteoles 2-5, \-~\ in., linear, often white margined, soon reflexed; pedicels 

 10-15, often 3-8 fruiting. Fruit J in., equally broad its whole length, narrowed 



• somewhat suddenly at the tip.

-2. C. reflexum, lAndl. in Royle III. 232: glabrous or very sparsely 

 pilose, upper leaves 2-pimiate more fiuely divided than the lower ultima^te seg- 

 ments small, fruit oblong narrowed into a thick cylindric beak. C. iillosmn, 

 Wall Cat. 568 in paH. : . * 



North-west Himalaya ; from Dalhovsdb to Kumaox; alt. 5000-^000 ft., frequent. 



Much less hairy than C. villosum, the fruit larger, and usually 1 (sometimes 2-3), 

 ppen in each umbellule ; pedicels of the other flowers being reflexed, as sometimes 

 m^ a much less degree in C. villosum. Fruit ^^ in., beak J in. ; vitt^e of the com- 

 nnssure 2, in the narrow part of the groove.

; 8. C. acuminatum, Lin^U. in Royle HI. 232; more or less tairy, 

 ^Pfer leav^ 1-2-pinnate pinnae large oblong closely regularly falcate-serrate j 

 fruit oblong narrowed close under the style-bases. 



Bjmalata from Kashmir to Kttmaon; alt. 5000-9000 ft., frequent. 



Stem 2-4 fl., usually with some long white hairs. Lower leaves often with ulti- 

 mate pinnae 2 by fin., oblong, acute, upper reduced with narrower segments. 

 Umbels bracts bracteoles and fruit much resembling those of C. villosum; petals 

 somewhat larger, often somewhat radiant; fruits smaller (i in.) fewer (often 2-3) to 

 the umbellule.— Closely allied to C. villomm, though very different in the cutting of 

 the leaves. Lindley puts it next C. aroTiiaticum, Jacq., but it more resembles C.

 teoles 4-7, \ in., lanceolate; pedicels 6-12, \-\ in., most of them fruiting. Fnnt \ 

 '0-, black, minutely punctate, very much constricted at the commissure, narrowed 

 upwards, scarcely beaked ; style-bases narrow, conical ; carpels subtrapezoid from the 

 «^reme narrowing of the inner face ; furrows subconcave, epicarp thin, no trace of 

 ^tt8e._The Algerian Balamcsa Fontanesii, Boiss. & Rent., said hardly to differ from 

 this by Benth., I. c, apart from the crenate lobed leaflets, the large style-bases, and 

 ^*er prominent specific marks, has the fruits broadly grooved on the very wide com- 

 «nssure. and h»a Imt^o-p m'tf^.
