10. EULOPHUS Nutt. 



Glabrous erect perennials with deep-seated fascicled tubers, the leaves all basal 

 or the cauline few and small. Leaves compound with the terminal segments or 

 leaflets often differing markedly from the lateral ones; lateral leaflets linear and 

 entire, rarely ovate or oblong and incised; terminal leaflet elongated, always 

 entire and often caudate. Flowers white or pinkish. Umbels compound, long- 

 peduncled. Bracts of involucre and bractlets of involucel similar, several, lance- 

 olate to obovate, acuminate. Calyx-teeth prominent. Fruit ovate to linear-oblong, 

 flattened laterally. Ribs filiform, equal. Stylopodium conical, with long strongly 

 recurved or deflexed styles. Oil-tubes 1 to 5 in the intervals, 4 to 8 on the commis- 

 sure. Seed-face broadly concave, with a central longitudinal ridge. — Species 5, 

 North America. (Greek eu, true, and lophus, crest, in reference to the salient 

 terminal leaflet.) 



Terminal leaflet commonly much longer than the lateral ones. 

 Eachis of the leaves not dilated.

Oil-tubes more than one in the intervals (as also in nos. 3 to 5) ; fruit 2 lines long 



2. E. iolanderi. 



Eachis of the leaves dilated, the segments few and mostly short 3. E. pringlei. 



Terminal leaflet similar to the lateral ones ; leaflets 1 to 3 inches long.

 gated, entire, % to 2 inches long; fruiting rays 1 to 2% inches long; fruit linear- 

 oblong, 3 to 4 lines long; oil-tubes large, solitary in the intervals, sometimes an 

 extra one in one of the intervals, 4 on the commissure.
