 the species). D. C. prod. 4. p. 194. Fruit ornamented with 

 thick adpressed stiff bristles. Vittae not sufficiently known, but

 nate, scabrous from adpressed down beneath ; leaflets ovate-

 Spondylium Auslriacum, Scop. earn. ed. 2. vol. 1. p. 204. t. 1. 

 To this Sprengel refers Tordylium siifolium, Scop. earn. no.

 Hoffm. umb. 139. t. 1. /3, and in lit. f. 12, 13. Fruit obovate. 

 Commissural vittae wanting ; but there are 4 dorsal ones which

 Vill. dauph. 2. p. 640. t. 14. Peucedanum Vocontiorum, 

 Spreng. umb. spec. 51. Schultes, syst. 6. p. 571. It differs 

 from Peucedanum in the petals being deeply emarginate ; in the 

 fruit being oval and flattened ; in the vitiae exlending nearly lo 

 the middle of the fruit, filiform, not saccale. It may hereafter 

 prove also to be generically distinct from Heracleum.

 at ihe rool.

LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Digynia. Calyx 5-loolhed. Pelals 

 obovale, emarginale, wilh an indexed poinl. Fruil flatly com- 

 pressed from the back, and ratjier convex in the middle, more or 

 less hairy, girded by a smooth thickened dilated margin. Meri- 

 carps with very slender ribs, the 3 dorsal ones at equal distances, 

 and the 2 lateral ones more remole, and contiguous to the 

 dilated margin. Vittse covering the whole seed, the dorsal ones 

 solitary between the ribs, 4 on the back of each mericarp, and 

 so large as to fill the furrows ; bul having 2 broad ones in ihe 

 commissure. Carpophore bipartile. Seed flat. Herbs, natives 

 of the Levanl, with decompound leaves, compound umbels, 

 many leaved involucra and involucels, and while flowers, which 

 are nol radianl. This is an intermediate genus between Hera- 

 cleum and Tordylium ; but differs from the firsl of ihese in ihe 

 margin of the fruit being thickened, not flal ; and from ihe lasl 

 in ihe margin of ihe fruit being smooth, not tubercular ; and 

 from bolh in die form and disposiiion of ihe vittae.
