The most delicate of the British ITnibclliforn>, both in branch and leaf, and 

 easily distinguished by the bendings of the stem just below the surface of the 

 ground, where it looks as if it liad been turned out of its course by little stones. 

 Contrary ta what happens in other plants, the stem at this part decreases down- 

 wards. The round, ciiesnut-like roots are good to eat, but they lie deep, and are 

 very slenderly attached, so thot great care is required in digging them up. Before 

 flowering, the umbels droop.
