Stem 6-15 in. Leaves 3-4 in., ovate. Bracts b-%, 1-2 in., oblong, tips usuaUy 

 pinnatifid or pinnate ; rays 5-12, 1-2 in. , bracteoles prominently white -margined, 

 exceeding the umbellule, often entire obtuse with the green midrib subexcurrent. 

 Calyx-teeth obsolete. Fruit ellipsoid subquadrate, nearly terete; epicarp thin, 

 loose, not of lax tissue; *dorsal furrows 1-vittate, lateral 2-vittate, commissure 

 4-vittate. Carpels plane on the inner face. Seed about twice as wide as thick.— 

 Hardly distinguishable from P. Brunonis but by the larger more winged fruit: it i9 

 doubtful to which of these species H. suaveolens belongs, the drawing being made 

 from immature fruit: the leaves of P. Bmiwnis are usually more finely cut than a& 

 in Klotzsch's figure.

 plane on the inner face as described by Lindley and upon which character he founaea 



the genus Hymenidium.
