nearly globose. The Cossacks of the Jaik chew the seeds for 

 pain in the teeth, and obtain relief by the copious salivation 

 which follows their use.

4 C. PEUCEDANOI DES (Desf. fl. alt. 1. p. 250.) leaves decom- 

 pound ; leaflets filiform, stiffish, rather pubescent ; leaves of in- 

 volucra pinnatifid ; of the involucels undivided ; fruit oval, with 

 smooth obsolete ribs. If.. H. Nativeof Algiers, in corn fields. 

 This species differs from C. Icevigata in the leaves of the invo- 

 lucra being multifid, and in the leaves being pubescent.

 long-linear, acute ; lower leaflets and segments approximating the 

 rachis ; sheaths of cauline leaves, ventricose ; involucrum almost 

 wanting; involucels of many leaves ; fruit didymous ; mericarps 

 nearly globose. I/ . H. Native of Siberia, on the mountains 

 of Dolenkara, in the Kirghisean steppe. Stems rather flexuous, 

 sulcately striated. Umbels of 10-20, unequal, spreading rays. 

 Leaves of involucels linear-lanceolate, with membranous mar- 

 gins. Margin of calyx obsoletely denticulated. Petals whitish, 

 nearly orbicular, emarginate, with an inflexed acumen, keeled 

 inside.

6 C. ALPI'NA (Bieb. fl. taur. 1. p. 217. suppl. 216.) plant gla- 

 brous ; leaves decompound; leaflets linear, elongated; leaves of 

 involucra and involucels very short, undivided ; fruit oval, hav- 

 ing the mericarps a little furrowed and striated, the striae crenu- 

 lated. If. . H. Native of Tauria, on the tops of mountains. 

 Hoffm. umb. 1. p. 176. C. Libanotis, Pall. ind. taur. Allied 

 to C. Libanotis and C. Icevigata, but differs in the fruit not being 

 perfectly smooth in C. Icevigata, nor deeply furrowed as in C. 

 Libanotis. Perhaps this and the two preceding plants belong to 

 the following section.

 divided leaves of involucra, and the lateral ones with undivided 

 leaves of involucra ; leaves of involucels all undivided ; fruit 

 nearly globose ; mericarps with 5 thick blunt ribs, which are 

 granularly muricatedon every side, having the furrows bet ween the 

 ribs deep and very narrow. "J/ . H. Native of Barbary, Italy,

9 C. CRI'SPA (Pers. ench. 1. p. 311.) plant glabrous, or nearly 

 so; leaves multifid, trichotomous: ultimate segments short, nearly 

 conical ; leaves of involucra and involucels linear, very short ; 

 fruit nearly globose, granular from papillae ; ribs of fruit thick, 

 almost closing the furrows. !(.. H. Nativeof Palestine and

1 1 C. LONoiLOBA (D. C. prod. 4. p. 237.) plant smoothish ; 

 leaves multifid, trichotomous ; leaflets linear, stillUh, elongated ; 

 leaves of involucra and involucels linear, short ; fruit nearly glo- 

 bose, granular from papillae : with thick ribs : which almost close 

 the furrows. If.. H. Native of Persia, among rocks on the 

 mountains about Seidkhodzi, where it was collected by Szowits.

 long, not 2 lines as in that plant.

 6. p. 447.) plant glabrous ; leaves ternately tripinnate : leaflets 

 cuneiform, jagged, acute; leaves of involucra and involucels lan- 

 ceolate, membranous ; fruit spongy, tubercular from papillae all 

 over. Tf.. H. Native of Persia. This species is hardly known,

 tomous : segments linear-subulate, stiffish ; rays of umbel pu- 

 berulous; umbellules crowded with flowers; calyx and fruit 

 tomentose. I/ . H. Native of Persia, in gravelly places at 

 Badalan. This is a very distinct species, from the fruit being 

 nearly an inch long, and tomentose, with thick obtuse ribs, and 

 very narrow furrows.

14 C. ? ACAU'LIS (D. C. prod. 4. p. 238.) radical leaves bi-

 lucra and involucels linear, with membranous margins ; umbel- 

 lules crowded with flowers ; calyxes glabrous. I/ . H. Native 

 of Persia, on arid hills at the Lake Ormiah, in the province of 

 Aderbeidjan, where it was collected by Szowits. Herb small, 

 with a fibrous neck. This is a very distinct species, allied to 

 the preceding, but the fruit is unknown.
