PARSLEY FAMILY 639 



(1908). C. chandleri Jones, Contrib. W. Bot. 13:11 (1910), type loc. Nelson Eange, Inyo Co., 

 Hall 4' Chandler 7157; -while the type specimens are only in flower and very young fruit, com- 

 parison seems to show rather conclusively that this binomial must be a synonym of L. vaseyi. 

 L. chandleri Mcbr. Contrib. Gray Herb. 53:15 (1918). 



7. L. utriculatum C. & R. Bladder Parsnip. Plants 8 to 12 inches high, the 

 peduncles from short stems or from the root-crown, usually glabrous except the 

 minutely puberulent leaves; leaves ternate, then pinnately decompound and dis- 

 sected into linear segments 1 to 3 lines long; petioles conspicuously inflated, mem- 

 branous, 3 to 7 lines broad ; umbellets in flower hemispherical or just a little more 

 than a hemisphere; rays 3 to 15, very unequal, the fruiting ones ^2 to 2 (or 3) 

 inches long; fruiting pedicels 2 to 6 lines long; involucre none or occasionally with 



1 often foliaceous bract; bractlets round-obovate to oblanceolate, entire, toothed 

 or laciniate, usually acuminate, short-petiolate, equaling the yellow flowers; fruits 

 narrowly elliptic, 2i/4 to 4 (or 5^/4) lines long; wings as broad as or narrower than 

 body; oil-tubes 4 to 6 on the commissure, 1 in each interval or with short acces- 

 sory ones in the dorsal intervals.

8. L. macrocarpum C. & R. Sheep Parsnip. Plants % to 1 (or 2%) feet 

 high, the peduncles several from a short scaly caudex; herbage thinly short-pu- 

 bescent ; leaves in a basal or sub-basal tuft, 2 to 5 inches long, or the earliest often 

 as much as 1 foot long, once or twice ternate, and twice pinnately divided, the seg- 

 ments linear, acute, I/2 to 2% lines long, the ultimate divisions of the rachis winged; 

 fruiting rays about equal, % to 4 inches long; pedicels 2l^ to 414 lines long; in- 

 volucel of many lanceolate bractlets mostly exceeding the umbellets, sometimes 

 united at base and unilateral; flowers dull white or pale yellow; corolla glabrous;
