numerous, pedicellate. I/. S. Native of Java, on the top of 

 Mount Gede. Perhaps this is the same as S. Javanica, Juss.

 above, in the forks of the stem, and on the tops of the branches, 

 each umbel bearing S nearly sessile fruit afterwards.

13 S. GRAVE' OLENS (Poepp. diar. no. 222. pi. exsic. no. 93.) 

 leaves bipinnate-parted ; segments pinnatifid : lobes obtuse ; 

 flowering branches elongated, nearly naked, trifid at the apex ; 

 umbellules by threes, on short peduncles ; flowers 12-15 in each 

 umbellule : male ones nearly sessile : female one central. Tf.. 

 F. Native of Chili. Leaves almost like those of Scrophularia 

 canina. Umbels truly compound. Flowers yellowish in the 

 dried state. Petals cuneate, emarginate, having the segment 

 at the top reflexed. Filaments of young stamens inflexed. 

 Styles very long. Male flowers more numerous in the umbels 

 than the sessile female flowers. Calyx of the male flowers 

 smooth, of the female echinated. 



Strong-scented Sanicle. PI. 1 foot. 



Cult. The species of Sanicula grow best in a shaded rather

moist situation, and they are easily propagated by dividing at the 

 root. Some of the species being natives of warm climates, will 

 require to be protected in winter.

LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Digynia. Tube of calyx furnished 

 with 10 ribs, and 5 lobes : lobes foliaceous, permanent. Petals 

 erect, connivent, obovate : with the segment at the apex length 

 of the limb of the petal, and bent in from the middle. Fruit 

 crowned by the calyx, contracted from the sides ; mericarps gib- 

 bously convex, furnished with 5 filiform ribs. A small pe- 

 rennial herb. Leaves radical, petiolate, palmate ; leaflets 3- 

 cuneated, 2-3-cleft, mucronately serrated. Scapes 1-3, bearing 

 at their tops simple umbels. Involucrum of 5-6 obovate leaves, 

 which are toothed at theapex, and longer than the umbels. Flowers 

 yellow, on short pedicels, some male, and some female. Fruit 

 compressed from the sides ; mericarps with 5 broad ribs, which 

 are rather connate at the base, but separated by channels above.

 placed among other alpine plants.
