Root tapering. Stem erect, stiff, 2 or 3 feet high, solid, nearly 

 round, furrowed, rough with deflexed bristles ; the branches al- 

 ternate, nearly erect. Leaves alternate, bipinnate, pinnatifid and 

 sharply cut, rather soft than harsh to the touch ; the lowermost 

 on long channelled footstalks, and much the most compound. 

 Umbels lateral and terminal, on long upright stalks, of from 7 to 

 10 rough rays, but little spreading. Bracteas both general and 

 partial, several, awl-shaped, short, rough, permanent. Fl. small, 

 either white, or flesh-coloured, the exterior ones only a little ir- 

 regular or radiant ; the middle ones frequently barren, or in 

 some degree imperfect, but not uniformly so. Fr. small, with 

 incurved bristles often purplish, especially at the summit, where 

 it is crowned by the calyx, and the divaricated styles, much 

 lengthened out after impregnation.
