CEnanthe.~\ LXX. UMBELLIFEKJI. (C. B. Clarke.) 697" 



NIPAL; Wallich. 



Closely allied to (E. stolonifera, and only differing in "the more narrowly cut 

 leaves, ultimate segments of the uppermost often by iVi 1 ? * n * Wallich's specimens 

 have no fruit. Mr. Bentham (in Gen. PI. i. 906) has admitted this plant to specific 

 rank. 



4. <E. Kookeri, C. B. Clarke ; stem decumbent, nodes rooting, leaves 

 mostly reduced to a fistular rachis with a very few remote pinnae, pinnae \ in. 

 linear often 0. Dasyloma sp. 1, Herb. Ind. Or. H.f. $ T. Uinbellifera. No. 

 985, Griff. Itin. Notes 57. 



XHASIA MTS., alt. 5000-6000 ft.; Griffith, H.f. $ T., C. B. Clarke. 



Glabrous, or the rays sometimes pubescent. Stem 2 ft., erect, fistulous, scarcely 

 divided. Peduncles elongate. Bract 1, \ in., linear, or 0; rays 4-8, -2 in.; 

 bracteoles often longer than the flowering umbellule. Calyx-teeth obsolete. Carpels 

 ^-^ by ^ in., almost exactly as in (E. benghalensis, much smaller than in (E. Jistu--^ 

 losa, which this plant resembles in habit. 



5. <E. Thomson!, C. B. Clarke^ leaves finely 3-4-pinnate ultimate 

 segments scarcely in. linear, peduncle elongate, carpels dorsally compressed. 

 Dasyloma sp. 2, Herb. Ind. Or. H. f. $ T. Umbellifera, No. 1001, Grip. 

 Itin. Notes 65. 



SIKKIM and BHOTAN, alt. 5000-8000 ft., frequent. SHASTA Mrs., alt. 4500- 

 6000 ft., frequent. 



G-labrous, 2-3 ft., weak, diffuse, branched. Leaves 6 in., ovate, sometimes 5- 

 pinnate. Kays 4-8, -l| in. ; bracteoles not prominent. Carpels ^ by ^ in. dor- 

 sally compressed, otherwise much resembling (E. benghalensis and (E. Hookeri. Seed 

 dorsally compressed. 



23. SCHULTZIA, Spreng. 



Glabrous perennial herbs. Leaves 1-2-pinnate, ultimate pinnae toothed pin- 

 natifid or multifid. Bracts several, entire or divided ; bracteoles numerous. 

 Calyx-teeth prominent (in Indian species). Petals obovate, emarginate, white. 

 Fruit ovate-oblong, commissure broad ; carpels dorsally compressed ; primary 

 ridges slender ; furrows 2-4-vittate ; carpophore 2-partite. DISTKIB. Species 3 

 in Central Asia, 1 in India. 



1. S.T Benthami, C. B. Clarke. Pimpinella involucrata, Miq. in PL 

 Hohenack. No. 657 not of W. $ A. 



CANARA; Hohenacker. 



Calyx-teeth narrow-lanceolate, small. Fruit |- in. subquadrate, ellipsoid ; ridges 

 distinct, very slightly elevated, the two intermediate approximated to the dorsal. 

 Carpels lunate, compressed, face somewhat excavate. Seed compressed, lunate, inner 

 face concave. The examples in ripe fruit have the aspect leaves and umbels of P. 

 involucrata, W. & A., but the fruit (several still attached) is altogether different, and 

 the plant is referred by Benth. (in Gen. PI. i. 909) to Schultzia though the fruit does- 

 not quite fit that. If not a Schultzia, the three approximate ridges on the back of 

 the carpels must still bring the plant to this position in the Umbelliferous series. 



24. POLYZYGUS, Dalz. 



A glabrous herb ; root tuberous. Leaves 2-pinnate or twice 3-partite, secon- 

 dary pinnae ovate lobed or deeply pinnatifid. Umbels compound ; bracts 0, or 

 few small; bracteoles few, small, linear. Calyx-teeth small, or the outer
