d. Barren cells 2, hardly touching in the middle, prolonged into teeth 
or horns, but not forming a membranous calyx. 
10. F. echinata. Cells quite separate, each terminating in a recurved horn. 
Flowers in sessile heads on the thickened stalks. 
Common on coasts of the Mediterranean. 
11. F. trigonocarpa. “ Fruit triangular, hardly crowned. Angles callous. 
Flowers in heads. Leaves quite entire, the upper ones oblong-ciliate at 
the base. 
* Constantinople." 
12. F. spherocarpa. “ Fruit globose, with 3 very short teeth, of which one is 
longer, one face umbilicate, the other two-ribbed. Bractez lanceolate.” 
I follow De Candolle in keeping this separate, although, if it truly belong 
to this division, I see nothing by which to distinguish it from F. pumila. 
Sicily. 
13. F. pumila. Fruit terminating in three very short teeth. Flowers in loose 
heads. Bractez scariose, ovate. 
South of France. 
e. Barren cells 2 contiguous. Crown erect. 
14. F. Auricula. Crown of one membranous leaf. Flowers dieit: Upper 
leaves inciso-dentate at the base. 
France, &c. 
æ. Crown simple. 
B. Tridentate. Crown toothed. 
f- Barren cells 4. 
15. F. vesicaria. Calyx inflated, with minute inflexed teeth. Flowers in glo- 
bular heads. Bracteæ orbicular. Upper leaves pinnatifid at the base. 
South-east of Europe. 
g. Barren cells wanting, or reduced to a mere nerve. Panicle nearly 
fastigiate, the lower flowers solitary. 
16. F. lasiocephala. “Crown with 6 subulate, hooked, smooth teeth, longer than 
^ the hirsute border.” Reichenbach quotes Betcke for this plant, and says of 
it * that the barren cells are so far obliterated that the section is like that of 
` F. eriocarpa.” In other respects it appears closely to resemble F. hamata.
