 This species has been much contused with Cunnii i.'itinlntri and <'. Onj- 

 .r/fn»«»i by collectors, and under these names il is found in herbaria. A 

 glaucj at the conspieuous searious-bracted involucels, broadly concave 

 seed-face, and numerous oil-tube(s. should at once distinguish it from any 

 ('arum. It is an interesting fad that a species thought to be so local is 

 now found to be somewhat widely dihti ibuted tiirough contiguous parts of 

 California. Nevada, and Oregon, having heretofore concealed its identity 

 under a general simihnity of habit to Ctiruni. 



4, E. Pringlei. One to two feet high: leaves pinnately com- 

 j)(nnul, with broad inflated midrib and distinct divisions, which are 

 cnt into a few riarrowly linear almost Hliform segments: umbel 8 

 to (S-rayed, with scanty involucre, and involucels of numerous sub- 

 scarious lanceolate bractlets about a third as long as the pedicels 

 (sometimes nearly as long); rays about 'Z inches long; pedicels 8 to 

 H lines long: fruit oblong, 2 to 2]4 l'»es long, about half a line 

 broad: oil-tubes 3 to a in the intervals, 8 on the commissural side.

This very dibtinv-'t species has also been i-oJlected as a r'«(»««(. Its 

 leaf characters are so marked that it shoi.ld be readily recognized. 



\'ar. simplex is a form with 3 to 5 linear-lanceolate entire 

 leaflets, and smaller involucels. 



Sierra county, California (Lemmuu, in 1874.) 



The fruit is immature, but the oil-tubes are 2 or :i in the intervals, and 

 I on the commissural side. Mature fruit may show specific distin«'tions. 

 Distributed as CxridK duirdiiiri.
