26 CHILI. [Umbelliferce. 



atis reniformibus profunde 5-lobis, lobis ovatis obtusis bi-trifidis sinubus obtusis, pedun- 

 culis brevissimis trifloris, fructibus parvis. Hook. — Schlecht. et Cham, in Linncea, v. 1. p. 

 382. Hook. Bot. Misc. v. 1. p. 324. 

 Hab. Conception. 



2. MULINUM. Pers. 

 1. M. cuneatum; foliis cuneatis trifidis segmentis planis cuspidatis, vagina elongata 

 rigida ciliata, umbella breviter pedunculata multiflora. — Fragosa spinosa. Ruiz et Pav. Fl. 

 Per. v. 3. p. 27 ? — Azorella spinosa. Pers. ? 



Hab. Valparaiso. — The umbel is certainly not sessile, although the peduncles are not so long as the 

 leaves ; on which account, we have quoted the above synonyms with doubt, the plant having been hitherto 

 described with a sessile umbel. We have also received specimens from Mr. Cruckshanks, but on none of 

 them have we been so fortunate as to find any fruit : we have referred it to Mulinum on account of its habit. 



3. ASTERISCIUM. Schlecht. et Cham. 



1. A. chilense; foliis trilobis inciso-serratis, pedunculis elongatis sparsis, petalis pro- 

 funde emarginatis apicibus longissimis involutis, fructu basi angustiore, involucri foliolis 

 lanceolatis incisis. Hook. — Schlecht. et Cham, in Linncea, v. 1. p. 254. t. 5. f. 1. (fruct.) 

 Hook. Bot. Misc. v. 1. p. 332. t. 68. a.— Anisillo, vulgo Mouchu. Feuill. Chil. v. 3. t. 2. 



Hab. Conception. 



4. SANICULA. Linn. 



1. S.liberta; foliis 5-partitis partitionibus cuneatis trilobis inciso-serratis serraturis 

 setoso-cuspidatis, floribus masculis paucis pedicellatis, pedicellis capillaribus fructus longi- 

 tudine. Schlecht. et Cham, in Linncea, v. ]. p. 253. 



Hab. Conception.— The above authors in the Linnaea have pointed out the following characters to dis- 

 tinguish these, the allied species, from the present : — 1. S. canadensis. Linn.; pedicellis brevibus crassis fructu 

 triplo brevioribus.— 2. S. canadensis. Spr. — S. marylandica. Willd. En.— Jacq. Coll. 2. p. 239. Ic. Ear. t. 348; 

 floribus masculis numerosis longius pedicellatis.— 3. S. marylandica. Spr.— Lam. El. t. 19], f. 2; floribus 

 masculis paucis subsessilibus.— The S. marylandica of Linnreus is involved in much obscurity. 



5. PETROSELINUM. Hoffm. 

 1. P. sativum. Hoffm. — Apium Petroselinum. Linn. 

 Hab. Conception. 



6. HELOSCIADIUM. Koch.
