This is a very peculiar-looking umbelliferous plant, with 
perennial and apparently almost woody stems, deeply striated 
and marked below with the sheathing bases of former years 
leaves. The leaves and leaflets very much resemble, at first 
sight, those of a rose: and when held up between the eye and 
the light, they are seen to be closely and beautifully re s 
with pellucid veins. The fruit seems exactly that of an Angelic, 
but the styles are singularly long and straight. : 
A variety of this, as I am disposed to consider it, with . 
same fruit, a similar structure of leaves, and corresponding sma 
glands at the base of the leaflets; but with these leaflets only 3 
on each leaf, and narrow, is found by Dr. Sinclair at East
