(which I very much doubt) will be sufficient to keep the 

 Slum repens of Engl. Fl. distinct from nodijlorum, if unaccom- 

 panied by other marks. 



15. Conium maculatum. — Anglesea, July 8, 1898. — Styles 

 at first very short, incurved, so as to cross each other; 

 afterwards erect and longer; finally reflexed, and widely 

 spreading. 



16. Crithmum maritimum. — Anglesea, August 24, 1826. — 

 Umbel of eight or ten rays ; partial umbels with six to twelve 

 flowers, on very short stalks, contracted at the top. Brac- 

 teas ovato-lanceolate, ribbed, at first horizontally spreading, 

 afterwards deflexed; general hracteas mostly six together, 

 of equal size ; partial ones six or seven, also equal. Flowers 

 yellowish, (not white,) as well as the anthers and the base 

 of the styles. Petals broadly ovate, with an incurved point, 

 and a ridge or keel along the middle, concave and inflexed, 

 very deciduous, falling before the anthers burst. Calyx 

 obsolete. Stamens longer than the petals, only one or two 

 are erect, remaining after the petals are fallen, the other 

 stamens seem to be abortive. Styles tumid at the base. 

 Stigmas often indistinct. Seeds 5-ribbed ; the inner one has 

 a prominent central rib, while the outer one appears flat 

 and ribbed at the back ; rihs rounded and strong, the spaces 

 between them a little striated. The united seeds almost 

 globular. 



17. Smyrnium Olusatrum. — Wales, May, 1826. — Styles 

 recurved, and almost recumbent on their tumid bases. 



18. Hydrocotyle vulgaris. — Anglesea, July 4, 1828. — 

 XJmhel usually 5-flowered, flowers nearly sessile ; sometimes 

 a second umbel appears, arising from the centre of the first, 

 elevated on a stalk. Styles widely spreading in the half-ripe 

 fruit, with a tumid depressed base. 



19. Statice. 



Gen. Char. The limb of the calyx not plaited in S. spathu- 

 lata. Stigma clavato-oblong in that and S. Limonium.
