paniculam cum foliis 2 à Gerrardio lectis confecimus. Genus ab auctoribus citatis bene indicatum 
ab Arthrophyllo differt inorescentia, stylo, fructu et. verisimiliter slbumine; semen tamen perfecte 
maturum non vidimus,

liquis facie interiore stylorum smpius breviter decurrentibus. Fructus & latere com- 
pressus v. rarius subglobosus, exocarpio éarnoso v. rarius submembranaceo ; pyrenz com-

Genus limitibus a Dene. et Planch. Rev. Hortic. 1854, 105, impositis hie circumscriptum, ab 
Aralia differt petalis valvatis, et species Linnzeanze herbaces septentrionales ad illam transferentur. 
Miquel olim Panacem ad species has herbaceas limitavit, et australes pro genere proprio NoTHOPA- 
NACE habuit,has tamen iterum cum. herbaceis, sstivatione neglecta, junxit in Ann. Mus. Lugd. 
Bat. i 14. Seemann, lc. NorGüoPANACEM servat, et cum Miquelio characterem essentialem in 
gynccio 2-mero v. '* excessu " 3-mero petit, quod rite de plerisque speciebus preedicatur, in non- 
nullis tamen vix & genere removendis gynccium sepe 3-4-merum est, rarissime nec in omnibus 
floribus ejusdem speciminis petalis isomerum evadit. 
Species plereque floribus umbellulatis gaudent et inter has P. fruticosus, Linn., ex Asia tropica 
et P. sambucifoliur, Sieb., ex Australia folia habent ssepius bipinnata, estere in series 2 Pinnati- 
folias et Digilifolias (nunead foliolum unieum reductas) subsqualiter distribuuntur. In P. cepha- 
lobotry, F. Muell, ex Australia, flores capitati foliis 3-foliolatis ; in P: elegante, F. Muell, ex 
Australia, flores racemulosi, foliis plerisque bipinnatis, in P. mullijugo (Nothopanace multijugo, 
Seem. Fl. Vit. 115); ex ins. Fiji, et in specie inedita ex Abyssinia, flores racemulosi foliis simpliciter 
pinnatis. P. anomalus, Hook. f., ex Nova Zelandia insignis est. foliolis subsolitariis parvis, umbel- 
lulis ad axillas subsessilibus, In P. anomalo, P. simplici, et P. lineari, uti etiam in P. Edgerlei 
(RaUKANA, Seem. in Journ. Bot. w. 352) articulatio pedicellorum przsertim florum inasculorum 
parum distinota est. 
ScravoPANAX, Seem. in Journ. Bot. iii. 73.1. 27, est .P. Boivini, Dcne., species inter Digitifolias 
semine (uti. pyrena ipsa) insigniter eostato nec ruminato. Pyrenz e semina à plus minus costatze sunt 
in pluribus speciebus.

Voy. Bot. 1.98, Panacis sp., A. Gray, Bof. U. S. Expl. Exped. t. 90,91), species 2 includit Sandvicerises 
foliis saltem superioribus oppositis 3-foliolatis. Styli brevissimi eunt, at distincti. Gynocium in 
P. Gaudichaudi ssepius 2-3-merum est, in P. platyphyllo 3-5-merum. 
Onreoscias, Seem. Journ. Bot.iii. 179, species Madagascariensis umbellulis gracilibus et stylis 
filiformibus (3-4 rarius 5) insignis, folia ostendit pinnata, foliolis paucis pro Ordine pervulis, Jas- 
mina qusdam simulantia, et est verisimiliter Panaz Marcia, Dene. ex Seem, Journ. Bot. iii, 74
