706 ixx. UMBELLiFEEJi. (0. B. Clarke.) 



13. P. densiflorum, Benth. in Qen. PI. i. 916 ; leaves 3-i-pmnate vilti- • 

 mate segments very narrowly lanceolate or linear, bracteoles 6-8 elliptic entire 

 or somewhat pinnatifid at the apex, fruit f—j in. with. 5 subequal somewhat 

 broad ridges, seed distinctly grooved on the iimer face. Hymenidium. ? densi- 

 flonim, lAndl. in Royle IN. 233. ? H. suaveolens, Klotzsch in Seis. Pr. Wal- 

 dem. Sot. 148, t. 48.

 ClarJce. GubwhaI;, Falconer. 



Stem 6-15 in. Leaves Z-i in., ovate. Bracts 5-6, 1-2 in., oblong, tips usually , 

 pinnatifid or pinnate ; rays 5-12, 1-2 in. ; braeteoles prominently white-margined^ 

 exceeding the umbellule, often entire obtuse with the green midrib subexcuirent. 

 Calyx-teeth obsolete. Fruit ellipsoid subquadrate, nearly terete ; epicarp thin, 

 loose, not of Isix tissue; dorsal furrows 1-vittate, lateral 2-vittate, commissure 

 4-vittate. Carpels plane on the inner face. Seed about twice as wide as thick. — 

 Hardly distinguishable from P. Brunonis but by the larger more winged fruit : it is 

 doubtful to which of these species H. suaveolens belongs, the drawing being made 

 from immature fruit: the leaves of P. Brunonis are usually more finely cut than as 

 in Klotzsch's figure. 



14. P. Brunonis, Senth. in Gen. PI. i. 916 ; leaves 3-4-pimiate ultimate 

 segments setaceous, braeteoles 6-8 elliptic or obovate often pinnatifid at the 

 apez, jfruit f-^ in., dorsal and intermediate ridges narrowest, seed exactly plane? 

 on the inner face. Ligusticum Bnmonis, Wall. Cat. 545. Hymenolsena Bru- 

 noniSf DC. Prodr. 245. Hymenidium Brunonis, landl. in Royle III. 233. 



From Kashmie to Nipai,. alt. 9000-14,000 ft., frequent. 



Closely resembling P. densiflorum except as to the smaller fruit. Fruit ellipsoid 

 subquadrate, much dorsally compressed; epicarp thin, loose, not of open tissue; fur- 

 rows all 1-vittate, commissure 2-vittate ; carpels plane on the inner face. Seed 4-5 

 times as wide as thick.— Bentham not having seen ripe fruit doubted the seed being- 

 plane on the inner face as described by Lindley and upon which character he founded 

 the genus Hymenidium. 



29. ANGEXiXCA,, lann. 



Serbs, usually taU. Leaves 1-2-3-pinnate, pinnae toothed, usually large. 



Umbels compoimd, rays many ; bracts few, narrow, or ; braeteoles small. 



Calyx-teeth obsolete. Petals obovate, emarginate, white or lurid-purple. Frmt 

 ovoid or ellipsoid, dorsally compressed, commissure broad; lateral ridges 

 broadly winged, dorsal and intermediate not prominent ; carpels complanate, 

 broadly margined ; furrows 1-2-vittate ; carpophore 2-partite. Seed much doi> 

 sally compressed, inner face plane concave or almost grooved. — Disteeb. Spe- 

 cies 18 in the north-temperate and arctic regions, and New Zealand. 



1. A. gplaaca, Edgw. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xx. 53 ; leaves twice or thrice 

 S-partite or 2-pimiate, leaflets few 1-3 in. ovate serrate glaucous beneath. 



From Kashmir to Simla, alt. 8000-10,000 ft.. Falconer, &c. 



Glabrous, 4-12 ft. Bracts several, 1 in., linear; braeteoles many, J in. Eays 

 often 20-30, 1-3 in., equal ; pedicels hardly half as long as the fruit. Fruit J by 

 \ in., subquadrate ; dorsal and intermediate ridges approximate, rounded, somewhat 

 corky; furrows 1-vittate; commissure 2-4-vittate; carpels plane on the inner face. 

 Seed less than i in. wide, but about twice as wide as thick; almost grooved on the 

 inner face.
