puberulent; stem rather slender, 2-3° high, substriate; petioles spathace- 
ously clilatecl ; leaves simply pinnate, with a tendency to be bipinnate in the 
lower pair of leaflets, which are often short-petiolulate ; leaflets 1-6' long, 
2-4 pairs, ovate to narrowly lanceolate, sharply and somewhat unequally 
serrate, occasionally entire, veinlets finely reticulated ; rays 10-15 ; umbel- 
lets crowded ; involucre and involucels none ; flowers small, greenish-yellow 
or dull-purple ; calyx-teeth obsolete ; stylopodia with a somewhat expanded 
crenate margin ; fruit nearly orbicular, 2-S" long, emarginate above and 
below ; the dorsal wings thick and rather narrow, the lateral expanded and 
broader than the seed ; vittee rather large ; seed scarcely concave, not sulcate. 
— Wahsatch and Uinta Mountains; 7-8,000 feet altitude; July, August. 
Specimens collected by Lyall in the Galton and Cascade Mountains are 
apparently the same, but are only in flower, and the larger leaves are bipin- 
nately divided. (458.) 
Archangelica Gmelini, DC. (?.) The specimens are without mature 
fruit; leaflets broadly ovate, f-li' long, coarsely and unequally dentate, the 
teeth-cuspidate ; involucels wanting or of a few very narrow setaceous bracts ; 
stems 1-2° high. Found in the Uinta Mountains; 10-11,000 feet altitude; 
August. The species occurs in Massachusetts, in the Rocky Mountains of 
Colorado, and on the western coast from Behring Strait to Oregon. A. 
officinalis, to which it is referred by Dr. Hooker, is found in Greenland, 
Labrador and northern Alaska. (459.) 
Ferula ^ MULTiFiDA, Gray. {Leptotcenia, Nutt.) Stems 18'-2° high, 
stout, several from a large conical root, simple or branched, naked or with 
1-2 leaves which are broadly dilated and sheathing at base ; segments of 
the 3-4-pinnate leaves incisely pinnatifid, with narrow or linear lobes ; 
involucre deciduous or of 1-2 persistent leaflets ; involucels of several narrow 
bracts ; umbels of 12-15 rays, 2-3' long ; flowers dull-yellow or brownish ; 
fruit 4-9" long and 4" broad, about equaling the pedicel. — Much resembling 
1 FERULA, L. Calyx-teetli obsolete or small. Petals broad, with the inflexed point usually short 
and snbentire and witli the midrib slightly if at all impressed. Stylopodia small or conical, with a more 
or less dilated undulate margin. Fruit orbicular or ovate, flattened ; carpels scarcely convex on the 
back ; the primary dorsal ribs filiform or slightly elevated, the lateral thin, often with a nerved margin, 
closely contiguous and forming a wing which is entire before the deliisconce of the fruit ; vittie usually 
numerous, conspicuous or obscure, very rarely in exceptional carpels but l-'J in the central intervals. 
Carpophore free, 2-parted. Seed flattened dorsally.— Perennial, glabrour^ and often glaucous ; leaves 
pinnately decompound, the ultimate segments usually filiform or small ; umbels compound ; involucre 
and involucels of short entire bracts, rarely very small or none : flowers yellow ; fruit glabrous. Benth.
