 Ihis may be a different species but contains only very immature fruit. The upper 

 leaves are lobed, not divided, more hairy than in the type, and the bracteoles are 

 much more prominent. Bentham {Gen, PL i. 922) referred H. diver sifolinm to 

 reucedanum : but is not now certain to which of the many plants mixed under the 

 name B. diversifoliitm he referred. II. Wallichii is a typical Ueracleum, with the 

 vittae hardly half as long as the mericarp.
