the lateral near the outer edge of the dilated margin. Vitte linear, 
scarcely shorter than the ridges, solitary in each furrow, 2 or more on 
the commissure. Carpophore bipartite. Seed flattened. DO. 2. ¢. 188.

Herbaceous plants with a fusiform and often fleshy root. Leaves pinnated, the 
segments toothed, cut or lobed. Umbels compound. 1 involucre and involucel 
wanting or few-leaved. Flowers usually yellow. Name from pastinum, a dibble ; 
in reference to the form of the root. 
1. P. Capensis (Sond.) ; stem deep-furrowed ; leaves pinnate, nearly 
glabrous above, clothed with short pubescence beneath ; lateral pinne 
subsessile, entire or bifid, the terminal 3-lobed ; segments ovate, acute, 
dentate ; involucre 1-, involucel 2-leaved ; calyx-teeth obsolete ; fruit 
orbicular, glabrous ; lateral vitte close to the intermediate ridges ; 
commissure with 2-4 vitte.

Root of P. sativa. Stem 2-3 feet high, angulate-suleate, glabrous, much-branched. 
Leaves similar to those of P. ligusticifolia, W. & A., but the segments not serrate, 
but with short, mucronulate teeth, 14-2 inches long, 1-1} inch broad. Petiole 
downy, sulcate above, multistriate beneath. Rays of umbel ( 10-16) unequal, 1-2 
inches long ; pedicels (16-20) a little hairy. Flowers yellow. Fruit 2 lines long 
and broad or a little larger. Commissure with 2 vitte, or with 4, two of which 
are larger. It is nearly allied to P. divaricata and lucida, Gouan. ; but it is dis- 
tinguished by the fruit and stem. P. lucida, Linn., that I have not seen, must be 
a quite different plant. 
XXIX. CAPNOPHYLLUM, Gaertn. 
Margin of the calyx obsolete. Petals oblong, subemarginate, with 
an acute, inflexed point. fruit lenticularly compressed, girded by a 
flattened, dilated margin. Mericarps having the 3 dorsal ridges 
thick, carinate, flexuose or tuberculated ; the 2 lateral passing into the 
dilated margin. Furrows with single vittew. Commissure 2-vittate. 
Seed rather convex, but flat in front. Koch. Umb. Pp. 95. 2. 44. in add.

Annual herbs, with glaucous, multifid leaves almost like those of Fumaria. 
Umbels opposite the leaves or nearly terminal, many-rayed. Involucre and involu- 
cels composed of 3-6 leaves, with membranous edges. Flowers white. Name from 
kanvos, the Greek name for Fumaria, and pvAdov, a leaf. 
» Often thickish ; cauline leaves smaller, shorter petiolate. 
Rays of the shortly pédunculate umbel 3-1} inch ; pedicels of the many-flowered 
Some of the flowers of an umbellule usually sterile.
