which form a broad margin, fringed with vesicles ; commissure

P. Capensis, Sond. and Harv., the only species, is a glaucous and, except 
on the fruit, a glabrous, many-stemmed annual, of small size, but curious

at the base of the stem or the origin of the branches. Flowers wiite.— 
Found by Zeyher near the foot of the Witberg. 
31. DAUCUS, Linn. 
Calyx-margin 5-toothed. Petals obcordate, with an inflexed 
lobe, the outer ones often larger and 2-fid. Fruit dorsally 
compressed ; carpels with bristly primary ridges ; secondary 
ridges equal-winged, with a row of spines ; furrows with single 
vitte under the secondary ridges.— FU. Cap. il. p. 563. 
Biennials.—D. Carota, Linn., (the Wild Carrot,) is occasionally found
