COULTER AND ROSE—NORTH AMERICAN UMBELLIFERAE, 951 
Herbarium. It was suspected to be an introduced species and was therefore for- 
warded to Mr, W. Botting Hemsley at Kew, who has recently given much attention 
to this genus. While reading page proof the f lowing report is received from him: 
“The introduced Eryngiun is EB. flaccidum HW. & A. which I think is not specifically 
different from their FE. divaricatum.’? We have material from Wilmington, N.C., 
and Pensacola, Fla. (Curtiss).

to be spreading.

phyllum in general habit, but the beaked fruit is without ribs, and there are no oil 
tubes or strengthening cells. An Old World genus containing about 13 species, rep- 
resented in our flora by two naturalized species and one wait.

Anrvitriscus sinvestris (L.) Hoffm. Gen, Umibell, 40, 1814. A waif on Staten 
Island, N. Y.; collected at New Dorp by Britton, June 11, 1895; at same station, by 
Tyler, June 29, 1897, The specimens referred to this species in our former Revision

ern and southern Pennsylvania; collected at Lancaster and Bethlehem by Porter in

the common ‘bur chervil’’? of Europe, seems to be naturalized as a weed in the 
streets of Alameda, Cal., having been collected by Lemmon and by Dr. Gibbs in 1889; 
also found as a waif in Nova Scotia by Macoun. 
5, SCANDIX L.. Sp. Pl. 1: 256. 1753,—A genus which differs from Anthriscus in 
its ribbed fruit, which extends into a conspicuous beak much longer than the body. 
An Old World genus containing about 10 species, and represented in our flora by a 
single species, Which seems to be naturalized in some localities. 
SCANDIX PECTEN-VENERIS L. |. ¢., the ‘‘shepherd’s needle’ or“ Venus-comb ”’ of 
Europe and Western Asia, is naturalized in) Napa Valley, California, where it has 
been collected by Senue. Found also at Brighton, N. J., by Britton, July 21, 1888;

than in definite rows between the ribs). A genus of the Eastern Hemisphere, con- 
taining about 23 species, most of which are in the general Mediterranean region. The 
two following species have become naturalized within our range: 
Umbels opposite the leaves, sessile, or on short peduncles; leaves finely dissected. 
T. nodosa, 
Umbels terminal or axillary, on slender peduncles; leaves not finely dissected. 
T. anthriscus.
