374 UMBELLIFERAE. Davevs. 
XIV. DAUCUS. Tourn. ; Linn. ; Gaertn. fr. 1. t. 20; DC. 
Margin of the calyx 5-toothed. Petals obovate, emarginate, with the point 
inflexed, the outer ones often larger than the others and deeply bifid. Fruit 
somewhat compressed dorsally, ovate or oblong. Mericarps with 5 filiform 
and bristly primary ridges, of which 3 are on the back, and 2 on the flat com- 
missura; the 4 secondary ridges equal, more prominent, with one row of 
prickles which are slightly connected at the base. Interstices with single vit- 
tee under the secondary ridges. Seed flattish in front.—Herbaceous often 
biennial plants. Leaves bi-tri-pinnated. Involucre of several trifid or pinna- 
tifid leaflets: involucel also of several, either entire or trifid. Flowers white 
or yellow, the central one often fleshy and sterile. 
_ “1154. (1) D. Carota (Linn.:) stem hispid; leaves twice or thrice pinnated ; 
divisions pinnatifid ; the lobes lanceolate, cuspidate: leaflets of the involucre 
pinnated, about the length of the umbel; the divisions subulate-setaceous : 
umbels with a solitary coloured abortive central flower, concave when in 
seed : the prickles slender, and about equal to the diameter of the oblong-oval 
fruit—DC. prod. 4. p. 211; Spr. syst. 1. p. 897 ; Roxb. fl. Ind. 2. p.90; 
Wail. L. n. 1214; Wight! cat. n. 1208. 
This has probably escaped from gardens. 
TRIBE VIIL— CAUCALINEJEK. Koch. 
Fruit laterally contracted or somewhat terete. Mericarps with 5 primary filiform 
bristly or prickly ridges, of which the lateral ones are on the flat commissura; and 4 
more prominent and prickly secondary ones that are sometimes obliterated from the 
abundance of prickles covering the whole interstices. Seed involute or with the 
margin inflexed.—Umbels compound. 
XV. TORILIS. Spr.; DC. 
Calyx-teeth 5, triangular-lanceolate, acute, persistent. Petals obovate, 
emarginate with the point inflexed, the outer ones larger and bifid. Fruit 
contracted laterally. Mericarps with 5 primary bristly. ridges, of which 3 are. 
on the back, and 2 on the flat commissura: the secondary ridges obliterated 
from the numerous prickles that fill the interstices. Interstices with single 
vittee beneath the prickles. Carpophore setaceous, bifid. Seed with the mar- 
gin inflexed.—Herbaceous plants with multifid leaves. Hairs short, adpressed 
and pointing downwards on the stem, erect on the rays of the umbel. Um- 
bels terminal or leaf-opposed. Involucre 1-8-leaved : involucel of 5-8-lan- 
ceolate, ciliated leaflets. Flowers white, those of the disk male and sterile. 
Prickles of the fruit slender, hair-like, often hooked at the apex. 
1155. (1) T. Anthriscus (Gmel.:) hispi : leaves bipinnat- 
ed ; divisions lanceolate, rires Lo enata eeu nr podio 
terminal, with 5-7 rays: leaflets of the involucre 4-5, linear-subulate : 
prickles close, rigid, incurved and simple at the apex, about twice shorter 
than the breadth of the fruit.—Spr. syst. 1. p. 898 ; DC. prod. 4. p. 2185 
Wight ! cat. n. 1209.—Caucalis Anthriscus; Scop ; Don, prod. fl. Nep. p. 183.. 
—C. elata, Wall. ! L. n. 564. b. ( p. 248.)— Tordylium Anthriscus, Linn. —— 
Our specimens of T. elata, DC., or Cauc. elata, Don. (Wall. L. n. 564. @ 
I. and 2.) are too imperfect to admit of our ascertaining whether or not it be 
also referable to this species: the habit is precisely the same and the leaves 
being more divided and the leaflets of the involucel a little more numerous.
