to give a ternate appearance; leaflets 5 to 7, ovate, 2.5 to 7.5 cm, long, 
the lowest petiolulate and often subcordate, finely and sharply mucro 
nate serrate, the terminal and lowest often 3-lobed; umbel 12 to 16- 
‘ayed, mostly with no involucre, and involucels of few linear acuminate 
bractlets; rays 5 to 9 cm. long; pedicels short, 3 to 10 mm. long; fruit

16. DRUDEOPHYTUM C. & K., gen. nov. 
Calyx teeth evident or wanting. Fruit orbicular, flattened laterally, 
glabrous, or pubescent. 
Carpel with 5 slender fili- 
form ribs. Stylopodium 
none. Carpophore  vari- 
able. Oil tubes several in 
the intervals and on the com- 
missural side. Seed nearly 
terete in section, the face 
with a narrow deep sulcus 
which enlarges into a central 
cavity. 
Caulescent or acaulescent 
plants, with ternately com- 
pound leaves (except in 2. 
Fic. 15,—Drudeophytum hartwegi: a, %4; b, x8. vestitum), Mostly no involu- 
cre, more or less prominent 
involucels, and yellow flowers (except in 2. vestitum?). 
Type species, Deweya hartwegi Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 7: 342. 
1868. 
A group of 6 species, belonging to the mountains of the Pacific 
slope, from southern California to central Oregon. 
The species placed here under Drudeophyium have been heretofore associated 
with Deweya arguta, as mentioned in the discussion under that genus. Drudeophytum 
differs from Deweya, however, in having orbicular fruit, with slender filiform ribs 
and ternate leaves. 
Glabrous or sometimes scabrous; leaves ternate; flowers yellow; sterile flowers with- 
out calyx teeth.
