316 PENTANDRIA. DIGYNIA. angelica. 



Hab. In dry woods, and on the sides of hills. August. 



There can be little doubt that this is the Ferula -villosa of 

 Wa Iter, though by no means the plant described by Green- 

 watj in the ^mer. Phil. Trans., under the name of Cicuta 

 venenata. The description of the latter is too in)perfect to as- 

 certain what plant is meant, but I suspect it to be Cicuta ma- 

 cutata.

This, to me, is an obsc\u-e species. I suspect many of our 

 Botanists have mistaken fur it the A. triquinata. The figure 

 of .Tacquin, cited above, I have not had an opportunity of 

 examining; but, with his description, the A. triquinata agrees
