706 LXX. UMBELLIFEEJI. (C. B. Clarke.) [Pleurospermum* 



13. P. densiflorum, Benth. in Gen. PL i. 916 ; leaves 3-4-pinnate ulti- 

 mate segments very narrowly lanceolate or linear, bracteoles 5-8 elliptic entire 

 or somewhat piunatifid at tlie apex, fruit -| in. with 5 subequal somewhat 

 broad ridges, seed distinctly grooved on the inner face. Hymenidium ? densi- 

 florum, Lindl. in Royle III 233. ? H. suaveolens, Klotzsch in Reis. Pr. Wal- 

 dem. Bot. 148, t. 48. 



North-west HIMALAYA; Royle. KASHMIR, alt. 11,000-14,000 ft., Levinge, C. B. 

 Clarke. GTTKWHAL, Falconer. 



Stem 6-15 in. Leaves 3-4 in., ovate. Bracts 5-6, 1-2 in., oblong, tips usually 

 pinnatifid or pinnate ; rays 5-12, 1-2 in. ; bracteoles prominently white-margined, 

 exceeding the umbellule, often entire obtuse with the green midrib subexcurrent. 

 Calyx-teeth obsolete. Fruit ellipsoid subquadrate, nearly terete ; epicarp thin, 

 loose, not of lax tissue; dorsal furrows 1-vittate, lateral 2-vittate, commissure 

 4-vittate. Carpels plane on the inner face. Seed about twice as wide as thick. 

 Hardly distinguishable from P. Brunonis but bj: the larger more winged fruit : it is 

 doubtful to which of these species H. suaveolens belongs, the drawing being made 

 from immature fruit: the leaves of P. Brunonis are usually more finely cut than as 

 in Klotzsch's figure. 



14. P.' Brunonis, Benth. in Gen. PI. i. 916 ; leaves 3-4-pinnate ultimate 

 segments setaceous, bracteoles 5-8 elliptic or obovate often pinnatifid at the 

 apex, fruit - in., dorsal and intermediate ridges narrowest, seed exactly plane 

 on the inner face. Ligusticum Brunonis, Wall. Cat. 545. Hymenolsena Bru- 

 nonis, DC. Prodr. 245. Hymenidium Brunonis, Lindl. in Royle III. 233. 



From KASHMIR to NIPAL. alt. 9000-14,000 ft., frequent. 



Closely resembling P. densiflorum except as to the smaller fruit. Fruit ellipsoid 

 subquadrate, much dorsally compressed ; epicarp thin, loose, not of open tissue; fur- 

 rows all 1-vittate, commissure 2-vittate ; carpels plane on the inner face. Seed 4-5 

 times as wide as thick. Bentham not having seen ripe fruit doubted the seed being 

 plane on the inner face as described by Lindley and upon which character he founded 

 the genus Hymenidium. 



29. ANGELICA, Linn. 



Herbs, usually tall. Leaves 1-2-3-pinnate, pinnae toothed, usually large. 

 Umbels compound, rays many ; bracts few, narrow, or ; bracteoles small. 

 Calyx-teeth obsolete. Petals obovate, emarginate, white or lurid-purple. Fruit 

 ovoid or ellipsoid, dorsally compressed, commissure broad; lateral ridges 

 broadly winged, dorsal and intermediate not prominent ; carpeJs complanate, 

 broadly margined ; furrows 1-2-vittate; carpophore 2-partite. Seed much dor- 

 sally compressed, inner face plane concave or almost grooved. DISTEJB. Spe- 

 cies 18 in the north- temperate and arctic regions, and New Zealand. 



1. A. glauca, Edgw. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xx. 53 ; leaves twice or thrice 

 3-partite or 2-pinnate, leaflets few 1-3 in. ovate serrate glaucous beneath. 



From KASHMIR to SIMLA, alt. 8000-10,000 ft., Falconer, &c. 



Glabrous, 4-12 ft. Bracts several, 1 in., linear; bracteoles many, in. Rays 

 often 20-30, 1-3 in., equal ; pedicels hardly half as long as the fruit Fruit by 

 \ in., subquadrate ; dorsal and intermediate ridges approximate, rounded, somewhat 

 corky; furrows 1-vittate; commissure 2-4-vittate; carpels plane on the inner face. 

 Seed less than i in. wide, but about twice as wide as thick; almost grooved on the 

 inner face.
