^ruu narrowed to the base and not there emarginate, nearly as broad as long: 

 dorsal and intermediate ridges triangular, small, obtuse, lateral narrowly winged; 

 dorsal furrows 1-vittate, lateral 2-1-Tittate ; rittae nearly as long as the fruit or tha 

 lateral abbreviated, commissural 4 abbreviated. Seed much broader than thick.— 

 Perhaps a Heracleum, but the ovary is glabrous.

Glabrous, or the leaves sometimes minutely hispidulous, 3-4 ft., stem subnude 

 upwards. Lower leaves 6-8 in., broadly ovate, ultimate segments scarcely ^ in, 

 linear-oblong, subobtuse. Umbels large, irregular, and often twice or thrice divided ; 

 rays unequal; bracteoles hardly any; pedicels 8-12, \ in. Calyx-teeth 0. Ovari/ 

 glabrous. Fruit only half -ripe; will be at least \ in. — The very compound leaves 

 and irregular umbels easily distinguish this species. The genus is doubtful in the 

 absence of ripe fruit, but Dr. Thomson marked it Peucedanum, and it has all the 

 Appearance of beine: so.
