14. Malabaila Hoffm.^ — Ylowem* ne.d^rly oiHeracUum {or Fence- 

 danum) ; sepals conspicuous, small or 0. Fruit obovate or ellipsoid 

 much compressed, with a more or less deep depression at apex, sur- 

 rounding the (sometimes rather thick) conical stjlopod (Eumalahailay 

 Lefebvria,^ Anahjrium^); the thickened margin separated from the 

 cells by a subequal disk (Lefehvria, Opopanax,"^ Stenotcenia,^ Tetrata^nia,^ 

 or sometimes by a little thicker disk (Eumalahaila, Zozimia ^^), some- 

 times by a thin rather broad (Eumalahaila) or narrow {Tetratcenia, 

 Zozimia) space. Vittae either solitary in furrow, dorsal 4 {Zoziniay 

 Tetratmnia, Lefehvria)^ rarely shorter than the mencsirips (Eumalahaila) , 

 or more rarely {Stenotcenia, Opopanax) 2, 3. Face of seed generally 

 flat. — Perennial herbs, glabrous or oftener pubescent or hirsute ; 

 leaves pinnate or pinnately decompound or temate ; umbels compound ; 

 bracts of involucres and involucels oo , thin or short, sometimes 0. 

 (South east, Europe, Levant, north, and icarm east. Africa?^) 



15 ? Johrenia DC.^^ — Flowers ^^ nearly of Peucedanum ; sepals 5, 

 more or less conspicuous. Petals broad ; point broad involute ; 

 sometimes (Ducrosia^^) not radiating. Fruit thick ellipsoid; thick 

 margin contiguous to cells ; mericarps either oblong (Eiijohrenia), or 

 wider suborbiculate (Ducrosia) ; ridges thick suberose, but not more 



^ Gen. very near to Herackum and Pastinaca panaz Sibth. PL Grcec. t. 288 (not L.), referred 



differing chiefly in the absence of vittae and by B. H. to Malabaila.
