This in somewhat resembles P.lobatum, but the leaves are much smaller, of thicker 
substance, quite simple, with no disposition to become tri-partite, more obtusely 
toothed, and much less hairy, sometimes nearly glabrous above, and only sparsely 
pubescent below. Sweet says “‘ the leaves are covered with a powdery pubescence, 
quite white when young ;” and he speaks also of an allied, cultivated species “‘ with 
rounder and smoother leaves of a greasy appearance.” This latter may probably be 
Meyer’s “ testaceum” which is more glabrous than Ecklon’s plant ; but mere pubes- 
cence is a fallacious character. ' 
50. P. radulefolium (E. & Z.! 510) ; stem short ; leaves thickish 
and rather rigid, glabrescent or villoso-pubescent, broadly ovate, deeply 
inciso-pinnatifid, the lobes cuneate, cut or multifid, toothed ; stipules sub- 
rotund, acute, scarious ; calyx setulose, its segments linear, sub-acute, 
reflexed, half as long as the dull-coloured, obovate petals. P. multira-

S Near P. heracleifolium, but with more rigid and much more divided leaves, 2-4 
inches long, 3 of their length wide. Peduncles long; the umbel pluri-flowered ; 
with lanceolate bracts. Petals dull yellow-brown, darker in the middle. Flowers 
scented at night. 
51. P. flavum (Ait. Hort. Kew. 2. p. 418); stem short, succulent ; Fann G 
radical and lower leaves 4-pinnately decompound, the segments not decur- 
rent, very narrow and hairy, toothed and deeply cut ; pubescence very 
copious, patent, white ; stipules ovate, acute, scarious; calyx tube 
striate, setulose, segments lanceolate, reflexed, half as long as the nar- 
row-obovate, thickish, dull-coloured petals. DC. Prod. 1. p. 662, Sw.

Stemless, or with a short, decumbent or deflexed stem. Leaves 6-12 inches long, 
excessively divided, very hairy, the segments almost filiform. Peduncles long, um- 
bel many-rayed, bracts ovato-lanceolate. Flowers greenish yellow, each with a dark 
centre, or very dark brown, with a pale border, sweetly aromatic at night. Cava- 
nille’s specific name “‘ daucifolium” (carrot-leaved) is much more appropriate than _ 
that which the law of priority forces us to adopt. The leaves are much more finely _ 
divided than in any state of P. triste. :

current, very narrow, sparsely pubescent, filiform, elongate; sti ‘ipules
