 — Annual slender smooth dichotome divaricate, 

 leaves triternate multipartite segments linear or 

 setaceous, umbel. 5-6fid, umbellules commonly 

 triflore, pedicels equal, invol. 3 lanceolate mi- 

 nute — in Carolina and Florida, bipedal not hum- 

 ble, my specimens are in fruit, brown, realy 

 warty, hardly squamose. Here is a sp. put in 

 5 Genera! 



782. Babiron dichotomum R. Ammi divar- 

 icat. Coll. herb. — Smooth dichotome, leaves 

 short bipinnate. segments narrow linear, umbels 

 2-4fid, umbelules 3-5flore, pedicels unequal, in- 

 volucels 1 to 3 minute — annual like the others, 

 with slender stems semipedal, branches diver- 

 gent but not divaricate, more like B. pusillum 

 than the last, but stem terete not striate nor sim- 

 ple, the tubercles of the seeds more scaly.

783. Daucus scadiophylus Raf. stem grow- 

 ed retrose pilose, leaves few short tripinnate 

 hirsute, segments linear acute ; involucres 5-6 

 foliose hipinnatel partial simple as long as 

 flowers, petals equal not radiate seeds hispid. — 

 Florida, Alabama and Georgia, a Southern 

 Daucus so unlike the others, as to be almost a 

 N. G. I shall form a subgenus of it (with the 

 next) GiNGiDiuM with involucres bipinnate pe- 

 tals not radiate. This is pedal and bipedal, the 

 involucres nearly similar to the leaves, flowers 

 small, seeds oblong hispid between the muricate 

 ribs. D, Ltiicidus, being the same as D. gin-
