560 UMBELLIFERZ (Sond.) [ Bubon. 
Glabrous shrubs, with a resinous smell. Stems terete, branched. Leaves ter- 
nately compound, leaflets veined. Umbels of many rays. Involucre and involucels 
of many, linear leaves. Flowers greenish-yellow. Name from BovBwyv, the groin, 
or a tumour, which this herb was supposed to cure. This genus is very nearly allied 
to Peucedanum, from which it is only distinguished by the narrower margin of the 
fruit, and the petals.
