* 1145. (1) F. vulgare (Geertn.:) biennial: stem terete at the base : seg- 
ments of the leaves linear-filiform, elongated : umbels with 13-20 rays : invo- 
luere wanting.—-Gertn. fr. 1. p. 105. t. 23 3 DC. prod. 4. p. 142 ; Wight ! cat.

From this F. Panmorium, DC., or Anethum Panmori, Roxb. (fl. Ind. 2. p. 
94, and in E. I. C. mus. tab. 1387) appears scarcely to differ; it is annual 
and only ofa few months' duration ; its leaves are at all times scattered over 
the stem, and they are fewer and more remote than in F. vulgare ; this last 
does * not blossom till the second year, during which period the leaves are 
ifarious, infinitely larger and more divided than in" F. Panmorium.—Roxn. 
IX. SESELI. Linn. ; DC. 
Margin of the calyx 5-toothed ; the teeth short, thickish, and sometimes ob- 
literated. Petals obovate, emarginate or entire, with an inflexed point. Fruit 
ovate, oval, or oblong, somewhat terete, crowned with the reflexed styles. 
Mericarps with 5 prominent and filiform, or elevated thick and corky ridges ; 
the lateral ones marginal and often a little broader than the others. Inter- 
stices with single vittze, the outer ones rarely with 2 vittee. Commissura with 
2 or rarely 4 vittee. Seed nearly semiterete.—Herbaceous biennial or peren- 
nial plants, Leaves pinnated or ternately decompound. Involucre usually 
of few, rarely of many leaves, or wanting. Involucel several-leaved. Flowers 
White, very rarely yellow.

lous : rena Eataa y hee aera y segments roundish, entire or lobed 
or pinnatifid, cut and toothed : general umbels on longish peduncles, with 
about 12 rays ; partial ones many flowered : leaves of the involucre and in- 
volucel many (about 8 or 10), lanceolate, with a subulate point, membrana- 
eous on the margins, hairy: fruit somewhat globose, covered all over but 
Particularly on the ridges with speading straight hairs furnished with 2 di-

Probably this may form a separate genus on account of there being vitte 
not only in the interstices but also under the ridges.

Fruit more or less compressed dorsally, surrounded by a single dilated smooth 
winged flattened or slightly convex (but not thickened. at. the. edged cotre margin. 
Mericarps with 5 filiform or more rarely winged ridges, of which the Seed flattened

‘volute portion somewhat square and retuse. Fruit lenticularly compressed 
on the back, surrounded by a flattened margin. Mericarps with 5 equidis-

lateral ones more obsolete and passing into the margin. Vitte broad, solita-
