8 L. TENUIFOLIA (D. C. prod. 4. p. 151.) plant glabrous; 

 stem terete ; leaves supra-decompound : leaflets linear, divari- 

 cate ; sheaths dilated ; leaves of involucrum 5, about equal in 

 length to the middle of the rays of the umbel ; leaves of invo- 

 lucels with membranous ciliated edges, length of the umbellules ; 

 fruit glabrous. Tf. . H. Native of Altaia. Athamanta tenui- 

 folia, Pall, ex Schultes, syst. 6. p. 495. Umbels lateral. In- 

 volucrum of few leaves ; the outer leaf the largest. Calyxes 

 glabrous. Mature fruit unknown. 



Fine-leaved Stone-parsley. PI. 1 to2 feet. 



9 L, STEPHANIA'NA (D. C. prod. 4. p. 151.) stem simple, fis- 

 tulav, glabrous, striated ; leaves glabrous, pinnate ; leaflets ob- 

 long or ovate, sessile, cut : uppermost leaflets rather trifid ; pe- 

 tioles ending in a sheath at the base ; lower cauline leaves larger 

 than the radical ones, and on longer petioles ; umbels dense, 

 sheathed ; sheaths, as well as the involucra and involucels, are 

 membranous and villous ; involucrum of many obovate-cuneated 

 leaves; involucels of many linear leaves. 1{. H. Native of 

 Altaia, in the more humid parts of the Alps, especially at the 

 fountains of the river Tscharysch, and elsewhere. Athamanta 

 compacta, Led. fl. ross. alt. ill. t. 81. fl. alt. 1. p. 327. Atha- 

 manta cervaria ? Pall. itin. 2. p. 560. Athamanta monstrosa, 

 Steph. ex Willd. rel. in Schultes, syst. 6. p. 495. Ligusticum 

 athamanticum, Adans, mss. Petals erect, ovate-oblong, with an 

 inflexed point. Styles equal in length or longer than the meri- 

 carps. Fruit nearly cylindrical, a little compressed from the 

 sides, pilose, crowned by the permanent calyx and styles ; meri- 

 carps with 5 filiform ribs: lateral ones marginating; vittse 2 in 

 each furrow, and 4 in the commissure.

 ments linear, a little cut.

10 L. CACHROIDES (D. C. prod. 4. p. 151.) plant glabrous, 

 glaucous ; stem terete ; leaves pinnate ; leaflets multifid : lobes 

 linear, entire ; superior petioles dilated ; involucra and involucels 

 of many elongated acuminated leaflets, y.. H. Native of Da- 

 huria, near Nerstinski Sawod. Cachrys Sibirica, Steph. ex 

 Fisch. in cat. sem. 1823. Spreng. syst. 1. p. 892. Trev. act. soc. 

 nat. cur. 13. p. 168. This species will probably form a proper 

 genus, from the fruit being very much compressed from the 

 back, in the dorsal ribs being prominent, and in the marginating 

 ones being dilated into narrow wings. Vittae in the commissure, 

 covered, and one in each furrow. Seed flat, not involute, as in 

 Cachyrs. Leaves of Seseli ; calyx involucra, and petals of Li- 

 bandits ; fruit nearly of Peucedanum. Ovarium sometimes vil- 

 lous when young. Fruit glabrous. Petals glabrous. Perhaps 

 this, with Seseli Patriniana, will form a new genus, nearly re- 

 lated to Agasyllis in tribe Stlerinece.

 Transverse section of fruit nearly terete ; mericarps with 5 equal 

 sharp rather winged ribs, which are hollow inside : lateral ones 

 marginating ; vittse one in each furrow, and 2 in the commis- 

 sure. Seed semi-terete, inclosed in a dry pericarp, which is 

 adnate to it when young (f. 55. G.). Glabrous perennial herbs. 

 Leaves bipinnate or many times ternate ; leaflets divaricate, 

 rather trifid : segments lanceolate, cuspidate, quite entire, 

 nerved. Involucrum wanting or of one leaf; involucels of

many leaves (f. 56. G. <?.). Flowers white. This genus is 

 nearly allied to Cnidium, but differs in the seed being inclosed 

 in a dry loose pericarp when mature.

LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Digynia. Margin of calyx obsolete. 

 Petals obovate, emarginate, with an inflexed point. Transverse 

 section of fruit nearly terete ; mericarps with 5 equal winged 

 ribs ; wings rather membranous ; lateral ribs marginal ; vittse

 Albumen flat on one side. Herbs perennial, rarely suflruticose. 

 Leaves pinnate or ternate ; leaflets multifid : lobes linear. In- 

 volucra variable ; involucels of many leaves. Flowers white or 

 rose-coloured. This genus is very nearly allied to Seseli, but 

 differs in the ribs of the fruit being winged, and in the margin of 

 the calyx being obsolete.
