1. Coriandrum sativum L. iSp. PI. 257. 1753. 



Type locality: " Habitat in Italiae agris." 



New Mexico: Zuni; Mesilla Valley. 



The common coriander of the gardens, whose fniit is extensively used in flavoring, 

 occurs occasionally in waste ground, where it has escaped from cultivation. 



23. PASTINACA L. Parsnip. 



Tall glabrous Ijiennial with pinnately compound leaves and yellow flowers; calyx 

 teeth obsolete; involucre and involucels none; fruit oval, flattened dorsally, the 

 dorsal ribs filiform, the lateral ones expanded into broad wings; stylopodium de- 

 pressed. 



1. Pastinaca sativa L. Sp. PI. 262. 1753. 

 Type locality: "Habitat in Europae aiistralioris ruderalis et pascuis." 

 New Mexico; Farmington; Santa Fe and Las Vegas mountains. 

 The parsnip is a common weed in many parts of the United States, but so far it 



is not common in New Mexico and nowhere is it a troublesome weed. 



24. FOENICULTJM Adans. Fennel. 



A stout glabrous aromatic herb with large leaves dissected into numerous filiform 

 segments, large umbels of yellow flowers, and oblong glabrous fruit, terete or nearly 

 so, with prominent ribs and solitary oil tubes. 



1. Foeniculum foeniculum (L.) Karst. Deutsch. Fl. 837. 1880. 

 Ancthumfoeniculumh. Sp. PI. 263. 1753. 

 Foeniculum vulgare Hill, Brit. Herb. 413. 1756." 



Type locality: "Habitat in Narbonae, Armoriae, Maderae rupibus cretaccis." 

 New Mexico: Sabinal; above Rincon. 

 Escaped from cultivation. 



25. CYNOMARATHRUM Nutt. 



Acaulescent perennial with long thick caudices and very thick long roots, the 

 caudices thickly covered with the leaves and their persistent bases; calyx teeth evi- 

 dent; flowers yellow; fruit oblong, strongly flattened dorsally, with sharp or winged 

 dorsal and intermediate ribs, and winged laterals; oil tubes mostly several in the inter- 

 vals, rarely obscure. 



1. Cynomarathruin nuttallii (A. Gray) Coult. & Rose, Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 7: 

 245. 1900. 



Seseli nuttallii A. Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. 8: 287. 1870. 



Type locality: "Rocky Mountains." 



Range: Wyoming and Nebraska to Utah and northwestern New Mexico. 



New Mexico: Cedar Hill {Standley 8025). Dry hills, in the Upper Sonoran Zone. 



Probably our material represents an undescribed form, for it does not altogether 

 agree with other material of this species. However, it is not complete enough for a 

 thorough comparison. 



26. PTERYXIA. Nutt. 



A 2:)lant, apparently of this genus, but the material too poor for satisfactory deter- 

 mination, was collected by Standley on sandstone hills at the north end of the Car- 

 rizo Mountains, in 1911 (no. 7352). It is probably an undescribed species.
