^L-^ in., unequal. Fruit ^-^ in., yellowish-brown, almost viseid ; carpels terete 

 narrowed upwards, primary ridges thin but very distinct ; vittse solitary, rather 

 large ; carpophore entire, or shortly 2-fid. — C. meifolium, Bieb. Boiss. Fl. Orient, dif- 

 fers by its lo-wer leaves with linear segments, its more numerous bracts; but is" 

 perhaps hardly distinguishable. — Caraway. 



2. C. ? diversifolium, C. B. Clarke ; upper leayes 3-partite, pinnse 

 narrow-oUong or linear entire, fruit elliptic-oblong prominently ridged. Sison

NiPAi; WaUioh. 



Grlabrous. Stem 3 ft. or more, much branched, sparingly leafy upwards, Leaves 

 2-3 in.; pinnae f by ^ in., acute, or in the upper leaves often linear. Braets 1-3, 

 J in. linear or 0; bracteoles 0-5, J in., linear; rays 8-14; pedicels numerous. 

 Mowers minute, all fertile. Calyx-teeth 0. Petals obovate, slightly emarginate. 

 Styles somewhat long on conical style-bases. Fruit immature, ^ in., nearly terete, 

 probably resembling that of C. Carm, but mfeiy become broad at the commissure 

 when it may be referable to FcenicwVwm, 



3. C nothuxn, C. B. Clarhe ; ultimate segments of all the leaves short, 

 linear, bracteoles 4-5 linear-oblong exceeding the pedicels, fruit nearly as in 

 C. Carui. 



Ceyiok ? . . 



Grlabrous. Stem 4-5 in., erect, branched. Leaves 2-3-pinnat6, finely dissected ;. 

 ultimate segments ^ in., somewhat distant and rigid. Bracts 4-5, §■ in., very nar- 

 rowly oblong, suhobtuse; rays 3-7, 1-1^ in.; pedicels 3-8, rarely attaining J in. 

 Cc^x^ieeth minute. Fruit rather more strongly ribbed than that of C. Camd, less 

 narrowed upwards ; carpophore 2-partite. — There is little doubt regarding the genus- 

 of this plant, it having been originally referred to Ptychotis by Sir J. D. H. and 

 having been again dissected by Bentham and marked Carrnn. The doubt is as to 

 its birth-place ; it is marked " Ceylon," but not on an original ticket, and there is no 

 collector's name. Its aspect is Alpine Himalayan, not at all Cinghalese. There is- 

 another small specimen collected by T. Lobb in Mysore that seems the same thing.

 oblong not narrowed upwards. BC. Prodr. iv. 115. Bunium Bulbocastanum,

 distinct ; vittse solitary, rather large.

 cauline leaves narrowly linear-lanceolate, bracteoles 4-8 linear-lanceolate with 

 scarious ciliate margins, fruit shining minutely pubero-pimctate.— Ptychotis
