Salt-marshes in England, not uncommon ; more rare in fresh 

 water. In Scotland chiefly on the west coast and always near the 



sea. 2/-. 7 9- Root of sessile, long, clavate fusiform knohs^ or 



subcylindrical thick fibres. Gen. invol. sometimes wanting, usually 

 several-leaved and persistent. Umbels lax, so that the partial ones are 

 not close to each other. Fruit broader than the calyx. The radical 

 leaves disappear very early, so that practically this must be distin- 

 guished from the preceding by the fruit and root. Perhaps it is a 

 mere variety of (E, peucedanifolia Poll. 



4. (E. silaifolia Bieb. (Sulplmr-worf W.) ; leaflets and seg- 

 ments of the lower stem-leaves linear-lanceolate acute scarcely 

 broader than those of the upper stem-leaves, fruit subcylindri- 

 cal callous at the base. OE. peucedanifolia Sibth. (not FolL) ; 

 E. B. t. 348. 



In fresh-water marshes and meadows, rare.

 form knobs. Branches very fistulose, Ge7i, invoL usually wanting, 

 or of a few caducous leaves. Umbels lax. 



5. (E. crocdta L. {Hemlock TF.) ; leaves trl-quadripinnate, 

 leaflets stalked cuneate-ovate or roundish cut and serrate, those 

 of the upper leaves narrower, fruit cylindrical oblong without a 

 callous base. E. B. t. 2313.
