 rank.

Glahrous, or the rays sometimes pubescent. Stem 2 ft., erect, fistulous, scarcely- 

 divided. Peduncles elongate. Bract 1, i in., linear, or 0; rays 4-8, i-2i in.;

Glabrous perennial herbs. Leaves 1-2-pinnate, ultimate pinnae toothed pin- 

 Batifid or multifid. Bracts several, entire or divided ; bracteoles numerous. 

 Calyx-teeth prominent (in Indian species). Petals obovate, emargiuate, white. 

 Fruit ovate-oblong, commissure broad ; carpels dorsaUy compressed ; primary 

 ladges slender ; furrows 2-4-vittate ; carpophore 2-partite. — Distkib. Species 3 

 in Central Asia, 1 in India.

Calyx-teeth narrow-lanceolate, small. FrvM J-^ in. subquadrate, ellipsoid ; ridges 

 distinct, very slightly elevated, the two intermemate approximated to the dorsal. 

 Carpels lunate, compressed, face somewhat excavate. Seed compressed, lunate, inner 

 face concave. — The examples in ripe fruit have the aspect leaves and umbels of P. 

 mitHueraia, W. & A., but the fruit (several still attached) is altogether different, and 

 the plant is referred by Benth. {in Gen. PI. i. 909) to Sohiltzia though the fruit does 

 not quite fit that, — If not a Schulteia, the three approximate ridges on the back of 

 the carpels must still bring the plant to this position in the Umbelliferous series.
