The long, cylindrical, white, highly pungent roots, well known for 

 their use, on many occasions, at table, run deep into the ground, 

 and are e.xtremely difficult of extirpation. The stems are 2 feet 

 high, erect, branched, spreading, bearing scattered, sessile, lan- 

 ceolate leaves, which are serrated, jagged, or deeply and nar- 

 rowly pinnatifid. Radical leaves very large, on long stalks, up-

 foot or more in length. Fl. numerous, white, in numerous co-

 liptical, compressed, notched pouches, most of which prove abor- 

 tive. The partition is very narrow. Style short. Stigma large, 

 capitate. All the herbage is smooth, of a dark green.
