FLORA OF NEW MEXxiCo. 485 
WOOTON AND STANDLEY. 
1. Coriandrum sativum L. Sp. Pl. 257. 1753. 
Type Locauity: ‘‘Habitat in Italiae agris.’’ 
New Mexico: Zuni; Mesilla Valley. 
The common coriander of the gardens, whose fruit is extensively used in flavoring, 
occurs occasionally in waste ground, where it has escaped from cultivation. 
23. PASTINACA IL. Parsnip. 
Tall glabrous biennial with pinnately compound leaves and yellow flowers; calyx 
teeth obsolete; involucre and involucels none; fruit oval, flattened dorsally, the 
dorsal ribs filiform, the lateral ones expanded into broad wings; stylopodium de- 
pressed. 
1. Pastinaca sativa L. Sp. Pl. 262. 1753. 
Type Locauity: ‘‘Habitat in Europae australioris ruderalis et pascuis.’’ 
New Mexico: Farmington; Santa Fe and Las Vegas mountains. 
The parsnip is a common weed in many parts of the United States, but so far it 
is not common in New Mexico and nowhere is it a troublesome weed. 
24. FOENICULUM Adans. FENNEL. 
A stout glabrous aromatic herb with large leaves dissected into numerous filiform 
segments, large umbels of yellow flowers, and oblong glabrous fruit, terete or nearly 
so, with prominent ribs and solitary oil tubes. 
1. Foeniculum foeniculum (L.) Karst. Deutsch. Fl. 837. 1880. 
Anethum foeniculum L. Sp. Pl. 263. 1753. 
Foeniculum vulgare Hill, Brit. Herb. 413. 1756. 
Type Locauity: ‘‘Habitat in Narbonae, Armoriae, Maderae rupibus cretaccis.’’ 
New Mexico: Sabinal; above Rincon. 
Escaped from cultivation. 
25. CYNOMARATHRUM Nuitt. 
Acaulescent perennial with long thick caudices and very thick long roots, the 
caudices thickly covered with the leaves and their persistent bases; calyx teeth evi- 
dent; flowers yellow; fruit oblong, strongly flattened dorsally, with sharp or winged 
dorsal and intermediate ribs, and winged laterals; oil tubes mostly several in the inter- 
vals, rarely obscure. 
1. Cynomarathrum nuttallii (A. Gray) Coult. & Rose, Contr. U. 8. Nat. Herb. 7: 
245. 1900. 
Seseli nuttallii A. Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. 8: 287. 1870. 
Type Locauity: ‘‘ Rocky Mountains.” 
Rance: Wyoming and Nebraska to Utah and northwestern New Mexico. 
New Mexico: Cedar Hill (Standley 8025). Dry hills, in the Upper Sonoran Zone. 
Probably our material represents an undescribed form, for it does not altogether 
agree with other material of this species. However, it is not complete enough for a 
thorough comparison. 
26. PTERYXIA. Nutt. 
A plant, apparently of this genus, but the material too poor for satisfactory deter- 
mination, was collected by Standley on sandstone hills at the north end of the Car- 
rizo Mountains, in 1911 (no. 7352). It is probably an undescribed species.
