The only localities at present ascertained for this rare plant in 

 Wilts. It has not, I believe been observed of late years in either

ToRiLis, (Adans.) Hedge- Parsley. 



Linn. CI. v. Ord. ii. 



Name. A name of very doubtful meaning, used by Adanson (a

1. S. Anthriscus (Gaert.) upright Hedge-Parsley. Caucalis

 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. In all the Districts. Fruit small, egg-shaped, faintly 

 tinged with purple, very rough, with incurved bristles placed in 

 rows, between which are dark green rather prominent ribs. The 

 upright stem and compound umbels of this species, will distinguish

 leaves, from T. infesta, the latter species is chiefly found among corn,

 species ; well distinguished by the /rwi^, being rough, with spreading
