into a few simple branches which bear but one or two small 
leaves, and terminate with an umbella.  Petioles foliaceous, 
almost 3 lines broad on their whole length, canaliculate. 
Lamina of the inferior leaves broader than long (12-16 lines 
to 8), with a deep and broad sinus; the superior ones longer 
than broad, cordato-ovate; the uppermost deeply 3-lobed, 
segments acute, the terminal one obovate, cuneate, 3-fid, or 
entire, the lateral ones oblong or lanceolate, entire, or with 
one lateral tooth.  Foliole of the general involucre linear, 
acute, half as long as the radii of the umbella; involu- 
cels formed of 2 or 3 similar leaves, as longas the pedicels. 
Petals pale yellow? or white, orbicular, with an inflexed nar- 
row acute point. Fruit (not yet ripe), almost as broad as 
long. The rest as in Feniculum. 
18. Seseli (Hippomarathroides) Caffrum, n. sp.; glaberri- 
mum, caule tereti, stricto, striato, superne pauciramoso sub- `

summis ad vaginam latam mucronatam redactis ; involucro 
2-phyllo, involucelli cupuliformis semi-5-6-fidi laciniis acutis ; 
umbelle radiis longis, gracilibus, pedicellis involucellum vix 
triplo superantibus.

The habit, and nacad the leaves, are very like those of 
Peucedanum Oreoselinum, and therefore quite distinct from 
the other species of this section of Seseli hitherto described. 
The radii of the terminal umbella are nearly three inches in 
length, whereas those of the umbellulæ scarcely exceed 4 or 
5 lines. The two oval or oblong and obtuse folioles of the 
involucre are unequal, 1-2 lines in length, spreading, and 
whitish, membranous, resembling the uppermost vagine. 
The inyolucella are calyciform, similar to those of S. Hi ippo- 
marathrum, but more deeply cleft, and their lobes broad, tri- 
angular, or ovate, thinly membranous, and white. Fruit 
quite smooth,
