 simple, almost leafless ; radical leaves somewhat bipinnate, gla- 

 brous ; leaflets erectish, pinnatifid ; segments linear, acute ; rays

 2. Mericarps ovate, elliptic, with superficial vittae. Herb 

 rather glaucous. Root flowing with milky juice. From the 

 stem there is often one leaf, having a broad petiole, from the 

 axil of which issues a branch. Involucels of many bristle-shaped 

 leaves.

t Species not sufficiently known.

 297.) stem fistular ; leaves unequally pinnate ; leaflets rather 

 cordate, 3-7-nerved, finely jagged, serrated ; bracteas or sheaths 

 broad, nearly orbicular at the base of the petioles, and between 

 the segments ; involucra and involucels of 6-10 broad lanceo- 

 late leaves each. I/ . H. Native of the Island of St. Helena, 

 where it is called by the inhabitants common angelica. Petals 

 white, oval-oblong, incurved. Umbellules globose. Fruit un- 

 known. Perhaps a species of Archangelica. 



Bracteate Angelica. PL 8 to 4 feet ?

Angelica species, Lin. Spreng. Lag. 



LIN. SYST. Pentandria, Digynia. Margin of calyx with 5 

 short teeth. Petals elliptic, entire, acuminated, with an in- 

 curved point. Fruit rather compressed from the back, fur- 

 nished with 2 wings on each side, from the raphe being nearly 

 central. Mericarps with 5 thickish keeled ribs, the 3 dorsal 

 ribs elevated, and the 2 lateral ones dilated into wings, which are 

 twice the breadth of the others. Seed not adhering to its tegu- 

 ment, but distinct from it, and covered by copious vittae all over. 

 Carpophore bipartite. Perennial or biennial herbs. Leaves 

 pinnate ; leaflets broadly ovate, acute, coarsely toothed : termi- 

 nal one lobed. Petioles large, sheathing, and rather bladdery. 

 Involucra wanting or nearly so ; involucels dimidiate, of many 

 leaves. Flowers white or greenish.

 cut, and sharply serrated, partly decurrent : the odd one deeply 

 3-lobed ; petioles dilated and tumid at the base ; involucra of a 

 very few linear leaves, or wanting altogether; leaves of involu- 

 cels linear-lanceolate. $ . H. Native of Europe, on mountains 

 by river sides, particularly in Lapland, Sweden, Norway, Ger- 

 many, Carpathian mountains ; and from Unalaschka to the Bay 

 of Eschscholtz ; and now cultivated every where for the sake of 

 its stalks. In Britain in watery places, rare, apparently a natu- 

 ralized plant ; as about the Tower of London, and on the banks 

 of ditches frequent ; in marshes among reeds by the side of the
