 — Annual slender smooth dichotome divaricate, 

 leaves triternate multipartite segments linear or 

 setaceous, umbel. 5-6fid, umbellules commonly 

 triflore, pedicels equal, invol. 3 lanceolate mi- 

 nute — in Carolina and Florida, bipedal not hum- 

 ble, my specimens are in fruit, brown, realy 

 warty, hardly squamose. Here is a sp. put in 

 5 Genera! 



782. Babiron dichotomum R. Ammi divar-

 short bipinnate, segments narrow linear, umbels 

 2-4fid, umbelules 3-5flore, pedicels unequal, in- 

 volucels 1 to 3 minute — annual like the others, 

 with slender stems semipedal, branches diver-

 than the last, but stem terete not striate nor sim-

783. Daucus scadiophylus Raf. stem grow- 

 ed retrose pilose, leaves few short tripinnate 

 hirsute, segments linear acute ; involucres 5-6 

 foliose bipinnate ! partial simple as long as 

 flowers, petals equal not radiate seeds hispid. — 

 Florida, Alabama and Georgia, a Southern 

 Daucus so unlike the others, as to be almost a 

 N. G. I shall form a subgenus of it (with the 

 next) GiNGiDiuM with involucres bipinnate pe- 

 tals not radiate. This is pedal and bipedal, the 

 involucres nearly similar to the leaves, flowers 

 small, seeds oblong hispid between the muricate 

 ribs. Z>. Liucidus, being the same as D. gin-
