716 LXX. UMBELLIFERE. (C. B. Clarke.) [Heracleum. 



3-5, in., lanceolate or linear, sometimes obtuse. Dorsal ridges distinct, shortly ex- 

 current, wing broad with a minute marginal vitta ; dorsal vittse produced nearly to 

 the base ; commissural 6-8. Very near H. rigens var. ligusticifolium which has t he 

 leaves sometimes nearly glabrous, but the leaves are less serrate, and the vittse are 

 usually 2-3 in the lateral furrows. 



17. K. ceylanicum, Gardn. ms. ; lower leaves pinnate pinnse deeply 



innatifid, lobes oblong hairy above villoua beneath, fruit as in H. rigens. H. 

 prengelianum, Thivaites Enum. 181, not of W. fy A. 



CEYLON; Walker, Gardner, Wight, Thwaites (No. 145 partly}. 



Pinnce of the lower leaves 1-2 by |-| in., sharply closely serrate or crenate. 

 Outer flowers of the umbel somewhat radiant, with lanceolate acute calyx-teeth. Fruit 

 ir~2 by 5 in., obovate, totally unlike that of H. Sprengelianum W. & A., but altogether 

 that of H. rigens from which this differs only .in the cutting of the leaves, which is uni- 

 form in the numerous examples. 



18. H. Spreng-elianum, W. 8? A. Prodr. 372 ; lower leaves 1-2 pin- 

 nate hairy, pinnae large ovate pinnatifid or lobed, fruit \-\ by - in. elliptic 

 narrowly winged. Pastinaca Sprengeliana, Wight Ic. 1. 1008. 



NILGHIBI MTS., Wight, Gardner,. 



Stem 2-4* ft. Lower leaves 8-16 in., ovate; secondary pinnse often 4 by 3 in., 

 lobed, crenate-serrate. Bracts usually 0; rays 6-16, 1-2^- in., nearly glabrous ; 

 bracteoles 3-5, Jin., lanceolate, caducous; pedicels 8-16, in fruit ^ in. Calyx-teeth 

 obscure, in the radiant flowers small, ovate, obtuse. Dorsal and intermediate ridges 

 obsolete ; wing less than ^ in. wide ; vittse often f- the length of the carpel, or more ; 

 commissural 2-4. Easily distinguished from the foregoing species by the small 

 fruit. 



19. K. concanense, Dalz. in Hook. Kew Journ. ii. ; 260 ; lower leaves 

 2-3-pinnate pubescent, fruit }-\ by ~f in. elliptic not winged, primary ridges 

 obtuse equally prominent. Dah. $ Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 107. H. grandiflorum, 

 Dalz. $ Gibs. I. c. 108. 



CONCAN HILLS ; Dalzell, &c. 



Stem 2-4 ft., more or less hispid. Tertiary pinna of the lower leaves often 

 1-2 in., ovate, deeply 3-lobed. serrate ; upper leaves much reduced, uppermost often 

 to sheaths. Bracts 3-5, -|- in., oblong, obtuse, or 0; rays 5-10, 1-2 in.; 

 bracteoles very variable, 5-7, lanceolate and longer than the umbellule, or small, 

 linear. Calyx-teeth obscure, or small, oblong. Outer flowers usually radiant, large. 

 Fruit exceedingly hard, muc-h less dorsally compressed than in other species, ridges 

 prominent; vittse as long as the carpel, those of the lateral furrows usually 2, commis- 

 sural 2-4. 



VAK. ? StocJcsii ; dorsal and intermediate ridges (in the unripe fruit) slender 

 lateral ridges ex current into a narrow very thin ring. Heracleum sp. 10, Herb. Ind. 

 Or. H. f. & T. Concan ; Stocks. Fruit the same size as in H. concanense type, and 

 vittse the same. This may be a new species ; for the wing of the unripe fruit frill 

 almost certainly dilate and will then be unlike that of H. concanense. 



20. K. pedatum, Wight. Ic. t. 342 ; cauline leaves pedately 5-7-folio- 

 late, leaflets lanceolate serrate hairy sometimes again lobed deeply. 



DECCAN ; Shevagherry Hills, Wight. BELGAUM; Law. 



Stem 12 in., or more, remotely hirsute. Petioles 2-6 in. ; leaflets 1-2 by -f in. 

 Bracts usually 1, | in., linear-lanceolate; rays 5-6, 1-1 in.; bracteoles 0-5, 

 in., lanceolate; pedicels 8-12, in., in young fruit. Outer flowers of the 



umbel radiant ; calyx-teeth linear, prominent; style-bases large conical. Fruit very- 

 immature in our specimen and in Wight's drawing. The large style-bases and pedate 

 leaves are not like Heracleum; the fruit promises to be like that of Schultzia.
