with retrograde liairs, and the top with spreading ones; leaves 

 rather pilose, pinnate ; leaflets bipinnatifid : lobules short, acut-

5 C. PRESCOTTII (D. C. prod. 4. p. 225.) root unknown; stem 

 beset with retrograde hairs below, but glabrous above ; leaves 

 supra-decompound, the lower ones pilose at the petioles : supe- 

 rior ones glabrous : leaflets multifid : lobes linear ; leaves of in- 

 volucels cuspidate and glabrous ; styles hardly diverging ; fruit 

 cylindrical. Native of Altaia. Very like C. bulbosum, but the 

 styles are hardly diverging, and erectish on the fruit, which is 

 much slenderer and longer.

6 C. BULBOSUM (Lin. spec. p. 370.) root turbinate ; stem 

 beset with retrograde hairs at the bottom, and glabrous at the 

 top ; leaves supra-decompound ; lower ones pilose at the pe- 

 tioles : superior ones glabrous ; segments multifid, linear ; leaves 

 of involucels glabrous, cuspidate ; styles short, divaricate. <$.

 Persia, in humid parts of woods. Jacq. fl. austr. t. 63. Hayn.

 icon. t. 207. Perhaps the same as C. verticillatum, hort. paris, 

 ex Pers. Root not bulbous, but tuberous and turnip-formed. 

 Stem usually tumid at the nodi, spotted at the base. Leaves 

 triply pinnate, finely cleft. Flowers white. The roots taken 

 up early in the spring are eaten boiled, with oil and vinegar. 

 Gmelin affirms both these and the seeds to occasion vertigoes ; 

 but certainly this is not true, at least of the fresh root, many 

 persons having eaten of that with impunity.

7 C. TEMULE'NTUM (Lin. spec. 370.) root spindle shaped, sub- 

 divided ; stem solid, striated, rough with short deflexed hairs, 

 and spotted with dark purple, swelled under each leaf like most 

 of the other species ; leaves dark green, hairy, twice pinnate ; 

 leaflets pinnatifid or lobed ; umbels of many unequal hairy seeds ; 

 involucra wanting, of one leaf, rarely of several ; involucels of 

 several ovate pointed leaves, which are finely fringed at the 

 margins and keel, occasionally confluent at the base ; seeds fur- 

 rowed, nearly smooth. $ . H. Native of Europe, in bushy 

 places, and under hedges, common ; plentiful in Britain. Jacq.

 irregular, partly barren ; those of the circumference principally 

 fertile. Fruit linear, crowned with the short recurved styles. 

 The whole plant is sweetish and aromatic, acceptable to domes- 

 tic cattle, nor is any intoxicating quality recorded, notwithstand- 

 ing the specific name. The herbage is often mildewed. Linnaeus 

 asserts that all the flowers are perfect, which does not accord 

 with Haller's account, nor with our English specimens.

Perennial species. 



8 C. MONOGYNUM (Kit. ex Link, enum. 1. p. 281.) stem quite 

 glabrous ; leaves decompound ; leaflets lanceolate, deeply ser- 

 rated, having the middle nerve and margins hairy ; leaves of in- 

 volucra and involucels ciliated. If.. H. Native of Hungary. 

 C. angulatum, Kit. According to Link and Koch, this is a very 

 distinct plant from Anthriscus sylvestris, although it has been 

 joined to it by Sprengel. Perhaps C. ciliatum, Kit. in Schultes, 

 syst. is the same, and probably C. nitidum, Wahl. fl. carp. p. 

 85. It is perhaps only a variety of C. aureum.

9 C. AU'REUM (Lin. spec. p. 370. but not of his mant.) stem 

 solid, branched, angular, striated, downy, with copious short de- 

 flexed hairs, intermixed with more or less numerous coarser 

 bristles ; leaves decompound : the stem ones remarkable for 

 their tapering leaflets, with numerous fine sharp parallel seg- 

 ments, their surfaces hairy or smooth ; fruit in the early state 

 club-shaped, when ripe linear, crowned with the lengthened 

 spreading styles ; seeds linear, of a tawny yellow, each with 3 

 prominent obtuse permanent ribs, which are often roughish up- 

 wards, as well as the furrows ; involucra wanting, or of very few 

 leaves; leaves of involucels ovate-lanceolate, pointed, reflexed, 

 coloured. I/ . H. Native of Middle Europe, among the moun- 

 tains. In Scotland between Arbroath and Montrose ; and at 

 Corstorphine near Edinburgh, on the borders of fields. Smith,

 and a little swelled, crowned by the narrow annular base of 

 each petiole. Flowers cream coloured, slightly irregular, the 

 barren ones numerous, with only globose rudiments of styles. 

 Stylopodia somewhat depressed, and considerably wrinkled.

10 C. MACULA'TUM (Willd. enum. suppl. 15.) stems smoothish, 

 angular, spotted ; leaves supra-decompound, pilose ; leaflets 

 lanceolate, deeply serrated, attenuated at the apex ; fruit mutic, 

 coloured, 6 times longer than broad. I/ . H. Native of the 

 south of Europe, but the particular places are not known. It 

 differs from C. aureum, to which it has been joined by Sprengel, 

 in the stem being spotted and smooth, and in the fruit being 

 twice the length.
