276 Umbelliferae 



anthers versatile. Ovary inferior, 2-eelled ; styles 2, 

 filiform, distinct, often borne on a conic or depressed 

 stylopodium : ovules 1 in each cell, pendulous, anatrop- 

 ous. Fruit dry, composed of 2 carpels, separating at 

 maturity along the plane of their contiguous faces (com- 

 missure); either flattened laterally (at right angles to 

 the commissure), or dorsally (parallel with the commis- 

 sure), or nearly terete. Carpels after parting supported 

 on a slender axis (carpophore), more or less rihhed or 

 winged. Pericarp membranous or corky-thickened, usu- 

 ally containing oil-tubes between the ribs and on the 

 commissural side. Seeds usually adnate to the pericarp, 

 their inner faces flat or concave ; endosperm cartilagi- 

 nous ; embryo small.
