14. B. Koofcerlanum, W. ^ A. Prodr. 373 ; lower leaves undivided 

 roundly 3-lobed villous often woolly beneath, upper much reduced often 

 to mere 'sheaths, bracts not prominent, fruit |-^ in. broadly elliptic scarcely 

 obovate obtuse at both ends. Pastinaca Hookeriana, Wight Ic. t. 1010. 



NiiQHiRi Mts. ; Wight, Gardner, G. Thomson,. 



Stem 12-18 in. villous or pubescent, subnude upwards. Leaves 2-4 in. diam., 

 sometimes peltate, often 3-lobed, lobes 2-3-fid, lobes rounded, crenate, not serrate. 

 Sraots 1-5, ^-j in., lanceolate or ; rays 4-10, 1-3 in., hairy, unequal, sometimes 

 compound; bracteoles 0-8, 0-^ in., lanceolate or linear, very variable; pedicfels 

 4-10, ^ in. Calyx-teeth small, lanceolate. Outer flowers of the umbel radiant or 

 not. Fruit obtuse, dorsal and intermediate ridges slender, hardly elevated; wing 

 broad, with a narrow marginal vitta ; vittse solitary in the furrows, large, nearly 

 as long as the carpel, commissural 4-2, the 2 longer extending nearly to its base. — 

 Distinguished from H. rigens, of which it may be a form, by the undivided leaves : 

 it appears uniformly smaller, more naked upwards, the fruits shining scarcely nar- 

 rowed at the base.
