the fertile fcape, a kind of falfe branch or flerile exerefcence, 
“which he calls “* crus folidum tenue ;” an excrefcence which we 
have often feen iffue from the middie of the umbel of 
other fpecies, Both authors defcribe the ftamens of their 
plant as longer than the corolla, while’ the figure given by 
the one and cited by the other, fhews the reverle to be the 
faét. A very common plant in moft parts of Siberia. , Intro- 
duced into Kew Gardens by Mr. HanemMan in 1787. Blooms 
in May and June ; the flowers are fweet-fcentcd, but the plant, 
when bruifed, emits a very rank f{mell of Garlick. Varies 
greatly in the number and clofenefs of the radii of its umbel.

Meffrs. Venrenatand Repoure, in their refpeftive works 
-above cited, have taken up this plant, as anew and unrecorded 
Apecies, wrongly fuppofing it to be a native of Africa inftead 
of America. The apparent contradi@ion in the names of 
_fragrans and inodorum, is founded in the firft’s being fuggefted by 
a degree of fragrance in the bloom, while the other has been 
derived from the abfence, in every part of the plant, of that 
fmell. fo common in this genus. G, ve
