(5-8), are characters too dependent on local circumstances to be of the least 
value. Don, however, states that the prickles on the fruit are straight, which 
is more worthy of attention, but then De Candolle places it in the section 
with the prickles incurved. Perhaps as Dr Wallich found both in Nepal, 
they are mixed together under the same number.

Fruit evidently compressed or contracted laterally, usually beaked. Mericarps 
vith 5 filiform or winged ridges, of which the lateral ones are marginal, all of them 
equal and sometimes obliterated at the base, and only conspicuous at the apex. 
Seed teretely convex, either deeply furrowed in front or with the margin involute.— 
Umbels compound. i

Margin of the calyx almost obsolete. Petals roundish, emarginate, involute, 
the involute portion somewhat square and retuse. Styles short, conical, di- 
verging, persistent, rigid. Fruit oblong, laterally compressed, without a 
- Mericarps with 5 primary filiform scarcely prominent ridges, of 
which the lateral are marginal, with a furrow along the commissura. Vittæ 
solitary in the flattish interstices, two on the commissura. Seed teretely con- 
vex on the back, furrowed in front, with a simple seed-coat.—Glabrous glau- 
cous plants with the habit of Feniculum, Stem striated. Leaves multifid, 
with the lobes linear-setaceous. Umbels with 12-20 rays. Involucre and 
involucel wanting. Petals yellowish.

We cannot refer any described plant to it; at one time we suspected that it 
might be Anethum Panmori of Roxburgh, but Roxburgh's drawing does not

Calyx entire or toothed. Petals 5-16, alternate with the teeth of 
the calyx, very rarely wanting and then (in Adoxa) perhaps changed 
Into supplementary stamens: æstivation valvate. Stamens as many as 
the petals, rarely twice as many, inserted below the margin of a large 
epigynous dise: anthers 2-celled. Ovarium cohering with the tube of 
the calyx, of two or more cells, or very rarely of one cell: ovules so- 
litary, pendulous: styles as many as the cells of the ovary, distinct, 
conerete, or rarely wanting: stigmas simple. Fruit usually fleshy, 
2-15-celled, or very rarely with only 1 cell, crowned with the limb of 
the calyx : endocarp crustaceous. Seeds solitary, pendulous. Embryo 
small, surrounded with a copious fleshy albumen, close to the hilum: 
radicle pointing to the hilum, superior.— Trees, shrubs, or herbaceous
