Root tapering. Herb glaucous, smooth, fetid and pungent when 

 bruised. Stem from 6 to 12 inches high, solitary, erect, leafy, 

 with many wide- spreading branches. Lower leaves pinnatifid, 

 which the figures of the old authors, except Petiver, do not ex- 

 hibit ; their segments are linear, partly toothed, especially at 

 the fore side ; upper leaves undivided, entire. Fl. minute, in 

 dense corymbs, which when in seed become very long, rather 

 crowded, clusters. I have never met with nr\y petals, nor more 

 than 2 stamens; but Dr. Withering, like Scopoli and Gouan, 

 has often seen complete ^offers, and sometimes 4 stamens. 

 Pouch roundish, with a notch containing the very short, thick, 

 permanent sttjle.
