534 FLORA OF SOUTH AFRICA. 
No. 433 of Krauss’ collection, gathered on the Table Land, 
near Port Natal, at an elevation of 2000—3000 feet, is 
_ probably a new species of Seseli, with yellow flowers and 
filiform leaves, the inferior of which are divided into three 
segments, the upper ones quite entire; but the specimens - 
are too young and imperfect to be exactly determined. They 
agree tolerably, especially in the long involucre, with Thun- 
berg’s description of his S. filifoliun, (Oenanthe filiformis 
Lam.) except in the inferior leaves.

The habit of the plant is rather that of some species of 
Seseli, than any of the Angelicee. Dr. Meyer having not yet, 
as far as we know, characterized this genus, we give a short 
description of it, taken from our specimens which agree en- 
tirely with Drége's plant. The fruit, however, being not 
quite ripe, leaves us some doubts as to the exact nature of 
the carpophorum and to the number of vitte commis- 
surales.
