talum breviore instructa. Stylopodium crasse conoideum margine crenu- 

 latum sepalis brevius, subsubito in stylos divaricatos attenuatum. Fruclus 

 ovoideo-oblongus, a latere manifeste compressus, ad commissuram con- 

 strictus, superne leviter attenuatus; juga primaria manifesta, glabra laevia- 

 que, lateralia marginantia, secundaria valleculas laliusculas zb completentia, 

 superne vel fere tota in longitudine aculeis crassis abbreviatis a latere 

 compressis (non glochidiatis) deorsum spectantibus vel tuberculis tantum 

 notatis obsita vel sublaevia. Mericarpia transverse subrotundata, ad commis- 

 suram planam, glabra; juga primaria fasciculis vasarum crassis percursa et 

 vitta angusta ante fasciculos disposita perfossa; vittae valleculares com- 

 pressae valleculis angustiores, commissurales 2; endospermium profunde ex- 

 cavatum. — Planta perennis pluri — multicaulis, foliis pinnatis, pinnis pal- 

 matim 3 — i-partitis, segmentis ultimis abbreviatis angustis, umbellis com- 

 positis involucratis, umbellulis involucellatis, floribus albidis. 



C. Stolzii Wolff n. sp. — Radices plures perpendiculares indivisae, 

 usque 20 cm longae et 0/2 cm crassae, annulatae. Planta inferne sparse 

 setuloso-hirsuta superne rigidule setosa, setis basi vitreo-tuberculatis. Gaules 

 in specim, florentibus numerosi abbreviati, in specim. fructiferis 4 — 5 erecti, 

 remote stricteque pauciramosi, usque 75 cm longi (cf. notam). Folia ba- 

 salia numerosissima; petioli laminam aequantes vel multo breviores usque 

 1 cm longi, sensim in vaginam late membranaceam atrobrunneam 1 — • 



i'6 mm latam expansi; lamina ambitu oblongo-linearis, 2 — 4 cm lata, 

 15-jugo-pinnata, pinnis breviter (2 — 4 mm) petiolulatis vel superioribus 

 sessilibus, imis ad 1 Y2 cm longe remotis, ceteris subaequaliter inter sese 

 dispositis, suborbicularibus, bis vel subbis divaricalim et palmatim 4-par- 

 titis, segmentis ultimis lineari-oblongis acuminatis mucronalis, 2 — 3 mm 

 longis, 1 mm latis aut subbipinnatis, pinnulis palmatim vel subbipalmatim 

 in lacinias anguste oblongo-lineares partitis; caulina ut videtur nulla; ful- 

 crantia basal, similia minora, simpliciora. Umbellae longissime peduncu- 

 latae, parvae; involucri phylla 4 — 5 linearia indivisa vel apice paucijugo- 

 pinnatisecta, radiis postremo breviora; radii 10 — 20, sub fructu maturo 

 1 — n 2 cm longi, subinaequales, densissime albido-setulosi. Involucellorum 

 pliylla 6 — 8 anguste linearia indivisa vel apice breviter trifida, subtus 

 glabra, margine ± vel dense ciliato-setulosa usque 1 mm longa. Um- 

 bellularum flores zb 20, plurimi steriles, saepius sub fructu maturo non- 

 dum plane evoluti. Fl. (J': pedicelli tenues floribus 2 — 3-plo longiores; 

 petala late obovata, breviter unguiculata, plicata, ob nervam impressam 

 cervice subbilobo-emarginata, lobulo inflexo sensim acuminato acuto quam 

 lamina breviore instructa, in sicco flavidula 1 mm longa; sepala angus- 

 tissima, acutissima, petalis longiora. Fl. fertiles: pedicelli brevissimi, 

 crassi; petala magis rotundata, minus plicata, ceterum ut in fl. (J; sepala 

 latiora; stylopodium crassum obtuse conoideum, cum stylis eo multo lon- 

 gioribus sepala duplo superantibus \ 2/4 nrmi longum. F>uctus breviter
