less prominent, often developed to wings entire or lobed, dentate or 

 pointed. Vittse under the secondary ridges, developed or indistinct. 

 — Annual or perennial herbs, rarely frutescent or arborescent, with 

 compound or decompound leaves and flowers in compound umbels. — 

 9 genera. 



II. EcHiNOPHORE^.^ — Fruit ovoid, unilocular, woody (accompanied 

 or not by a rudiment of the other sterile carpel), surrounded by 

 indurated pedicels and more or less adnate to the infertile surrounding 

 flowers. Primary ridges only visible and little developed. Vittae

 umbellules containing a central female flower, the surrounding flowers 

 male. — 1 genus. 



III. Peucedane^.^ — Fruit dicarpellar, with only primary ridges, 

 much compressed parallel to the partition, or little compressed and 

 with a transverse section circular or nearly so (Seselinece), commissure 

 generally wide, lateral ridges forming vittae or commissural wings 

 distinct (Seselinece), or closely connected till the separation of the 

 mericarps (Eupeucedanece) . — Plants generally herbaceous, with leaves 

 ordinarily compound or decompound and umbels almost constantly 

 compound. — 27 genera. 



ly. CAREiE.^ — Fruit dicarpellar, with only primary ridges, more or
