TOMMASfNIA (Tommasini, 

 a magistrate and naturalist of 

 Trieste). VmbelUferce. Two 

 species of herbs allied to Peu- 

 cedanum and Angelica. Ben- 

 tharu and Hooker attach it to 

 Peucedanum. In the breaking 

 up of that genus (see Peuce- 

 danum ), this group would seem 

 to be best treated as a distinct 

 genus, following Koch, Boissier 

 and others. It has the habit of 

 Angelica. From Peucedanum 

 it differs chiefly iu having the 

 petals involute on the margin. 

 Involucre none ; involucel 

 many-leaved ; margin of car- 

 pels dilated: fls. somewhat po- 

 lygamous. One species, T. ver- 

 ticillaris, Bertol. {Peucidanum 

 rerticil litre, Koch. Angelica 

 verticiU(trt\ Linn.), is adver- 

 tised in this country as a lawn 

 plant. It is a hardy peren- 

 nial, about 1 ft. tall: Ivs. with 

 many small yellow-green flow- 

 ers, 3-pinnate, the leaflets ovate, 

 acute - serrate and the lateral 

 ones often 2-Iobed and the ter- 

 minal one 3-lobed, the petiole 

 much dilated at base. Pied- 

 mont region, S. Europe.
