THE root is perennial, white, and fibrous: the stalk is erect, 
scored, round, smooth, branched towards the top, and rises about 
two feet in height: the leaves are opposite, and pinnated, the 
pinne are placed in pairs, and terminated by an odd one; they 
are all ovally lance-shaped, acute, entire, smooth, and veined. 
The flowers terminate the stem and branches in irregular umbels: 
there is no calyx: the petals are four or five, of an oval shape, 
and whitish colour: the filaments are numerous, erect, tapering, 
shorter than the petals, and terminated by the antherz, which are 
scored on each side: the germina are many, roundish, hairy, and 
support bearded styles, of the length of the stamina, and crowned 
with obtuse stigmata: the seeds are roundish, compressed, and 
attached to the styles, which appear like long feathered tails; 
and hence the name, sem. caudata.
