minute or 0. Petals ^ entire or retuse. Stylopods depressed, 

 marginally entire or undulate. Fruit longer or shorter ovoid, dorsally 

 compressed ; dorsal and intermediate ridges slightly prominent, not 

 or very narrow winged ; the lateral produced to rather thick [Levis- 

 ticiwi ^) or submembranous wings ; margin double from early separa- 

 tion of wings ; commissural face narrower. Yittae in cells solitary 

 (Euangelica, Levisticum), or oo (Archangelica^), Carpophore 2- 

 partite. Seed dorsally compressed, face flat or slightly concave. 

 Herbs oftener tall ; leaves pinnately or ternately compound or 

 decompound ; lacinise generally broad dentate ; umbels compound, 

 oo -radiate ; bracts of involucres oo (Levisticum), narrow, or few, 

 sometimes ; bracteoles of involucels setaceous or (Archangelica, 

 Euangelico), sometimes oo {Levisticum)^ connate at base. (Europe, 

 north. America, north, and arctic Asia, N. Zealand.^) 



18. Astydamia DC.^ — Flowers without or with very small calyx. 

 Petals^ oval, entire or retuse. Stylopods thick-conical, undulate at 

 margin. Fruit elliptico- ovate compressed ; commissure wide. Meri- 

 carps dorsally slightly convex ; margins rather thick broad suberose 

 separating by a furrow before dehiscence ; dorsal and intermediate 

 ridges very little prominent; vittae broad solitary; carpophore 2- 

 partite. Seed compressed, face flat or slightly concave.'' — A glabrous 

 perennial herb ; . stem sub- shrubby at base ; leaves broad inciso- 

 pinnate ; segments cuneate incised ; umbels compound ; bracts of
