Stem 2-6 ft. Lower leaves often 1 ft., in outline ovate, usually 3-pinnate, ter- 

 tiary pinnae 1-2-pinnatifid, glabrous or pubescent; upper leaves reduced, sheath 

 often as long as the petiole. Bracts 4-8, |-li in., linear, often toothed or slightly 

 lobed, rarely pinnate; rays generally villous; bracteoles 5-12, often longer than the 

 umbellule, white-margined, often lobed rarely pinnate or 2-pinnatifid. Calyx-teeth 

 linear; carpels slightly elliptic, longer than broad; dorsally compressed, suhcom- 

 planate, 3 dorsal ridges approximate, often hardly elevated (whence DC. consid^ea 

 the plant a Pencedamtm) ; commissural vittae 4-6, distant from the medial line, beea 

 complanate, inner face plane or subconvex,
