for I could find nothing corresponding with it in De Can- 
dolle’s ** Prodromus,” or in the “ Repertorium?" of Walpers. 
And wishing that it should bear the name of its discoverer, 
I described it accordingly, in a paper communicated to the 
Botanical Society of London, in June, and to be reported in 
the Phytologist for July, 1847. It was distinguished from 
Ammi majus by the following character : E. 
—. Ammi Hunti (H. Wats. ms.); caule glabro striato, foliis 
ternato-pinnatis bi-tri-pinnatisve, foliolis elliptico-lanceolatis 
margine cartaligineo inciso-serratis, involucri foliolis trifidis 
: pinnatifidisve, segmentis linearibus subintegris vel lanceo- - 
latis inciso serratis (foliiformibus). A. majori propinquum, — 
sed faciliter distinguendum. Herba verosimiliter annua seu 
biennis. Caulis ramis divergentibus sive (precipue supe 
rioribus) divaricatis. Folia inferiora decomposita subtri- 
pinnata sive plus minus biternato-pinnata; foliolis 2-3 poll. 
long. 1-14 poll. lat. Pedunculi petiolis vaginantibus Op- 
positi. Umbelle generalis radii numerosi (10-20) nm. 
divergentes. Umbellulæ multiflore. Corolla parva alba.
