24. Capnophyllum G^eetn.^ — Flowers small; sepals small or 0. 

 Petals ^ emarginate ; point long evolved. Stylopods depressed conical, 

 entire or undulate at margin. Fruit oval or oval- oblong, dorsally 

 little or more compressed {Krubera ^) ; margin somewhat or much 

 (Kruhera) thickened, more or less plicately rugose or tuberculate. 

 Primary dorsal and intermediate ridges slightly prominent, entire or 

 more or less tuberculate. Yittae in furrows solitary, intrajugal and 

 sometimes very thin. Carpophore 2-partite. Seed compressed, face 

 flat. — Glabrous generally loosely branched annuals ; leaves ternately 

 pinnate decompound ; umbels compound ; bracts of involucre and 

 involucels small ; margin often membranous. {Mediter, region, 

 Canaries, south Africa.^) 



25. Diplotsenia Boiss/ — Flowers^ 'polygamous; sepals acute, 

 persistent. Petals emarginately inflexed. Stylopods conical. Fruit 

 oblong-elliptical, immarginate, transversely subterete, somewhat com- 

 pressed dorsally. Eidges subequal rather prominent, traversed by a 

 superficial vitta (or 0). Furrows 1-vittate or the exterior sometimes 

 2-3-vittate. Seed much compressed, incurved, externally convex 

 internally rather concave. — Tall herbs; leaves and inflorescence of 

 Ferula,'^ {Mount. Persia.) 



26. Cymbocarpum DC.^ — Flowers subasepalous ; petals obovate 

 emarginate. Stylopods minute conical. Fruit glabrous, short ovoid, 

 slightly compressed dorsally ; margin before dehiscence entire thin ; 

 carpels convex at back, concave at face ; carpophore 2-partite. Primary 

 ridges very thin, scarcely visible ; the lateral bordering fruit. Vittae 

 in furrows solitary thin. Seed conformed to mericarp, very concave 

 within, convex at back ; albumen lamiform. — Glabrous branched
