716 Lxx. UMBBLLiFEK^. (C. B. Clarke.) [Heracleum, 



3-5, J in., lanceolate or linear, sometimes obtuse. Dorsal ridges distinct, shortly ex- 

 eurrent, wing broad with a minute marginal vitta ; dorsal vittae produced nearly t» 

 the base; commissural 6-8. — Yery neetr JI. rigens var.ligiisticifolmm which has tho 

 leaves sometimes nearly glabrous, but the leaves are less serrate, and the vittse are 

 usually 2-S in the lateral furrows. 



17. K. cejrlanlcum, Gard/n. ms. ; lower leaves pinnate pinnae deeply 

 pinnatifid, lobes oblong hairy above villous beneath, fruit as in S. rigens. B.. 

 Sprengelianum, Thwaites Em/m. 131, not of W. Sf A. 



Ceylon ; WaHcer, Gardner, Wight, Thwaites (No. 145 partly). 



Finns of the lower leaves 1-2 by i-| in., sharply closely serrate or crenate. 

 Outer flowers of the umbel somewhat radiant, with lanceolate acute calyx-teeth. Fruit 

 i~i ty i in., obovate, totally unlike that of ff. Sprengeliamim W. & A., but altogether, 

 that of H. rigens from which this differs only in the cutting of the leaves, which is uni- 

 form in the namerous examples. 



18. K. Spreng'elianum, W. 8r -A.. Prodr. 372 ; lower leaves .1-2 pin- 

 nate hairy, pinnae large ovate pinnatifid or lobed, fruit |— j by J-| in. elliptic 

 narrowly vidnged. Pastinaca feprengeliana, Wight le. 1. 1008. 



NiLSHiEi Mts., Wight, Gardner. 



Stem 2-4 ft. Lower leaves 8-1 6 in., ovate ; secondary pinnae often 4 by 3 in., 

 lobed, crenate-serrate. Bracts usually 0; rays 6-16, 1-2^ in., nearly glabrous; 

 bracteoles 3-5, J in., lanceolate, caducous ; pedicels 8-1 6, in fruit ^ in. Calyx-teeth 

 obscure, in the radiant flowers small, ovate, obtuse. Dorsal and intermediate ridges 

 obsolete ; wing less than i in. wide ; vittae often J the length of the carpel, or more ; 

 commissural 2-4. — Easily distinguished from the foregoing species by the small 

 fruit. 



19. H. concanense, D(dz. in Hooh. Kew Joum. u. ; 260 ; lower leaves 

 2-3-pinnate pubescent, fruit g-J by J-| in. elliptic not winged, primary ridges 

 obtuse equally prominent. Dcd^s. Sf Gibs. Somb. Fl. 107. H. grandiflorum, 

 Dcdz. ^ Gibs. I. c. 108. 



CoNOAN Hills ; Balzell, &e. 



Stem2-i ft., more or less hispid. Tertiary ^n»iK of the lower leaves often 

 1-2 in., ovate, deeply 3-lobed, serrate; upper leaves much reduced, uppermost oftea 

 to sheaths. Bracts 3-5, \-^ in., oblung, obtuse, or 0; rays 5-10, 1-2 in.;, 

 br&eteoles very variable, 5-7, lanceolate and longer than the umbellule, or small, 

 linear. Calyx-teeth obscure, or small, oblong. Outer powers usually radiant, large. 

 Fruit exceedingly hard, mui-h less dorsally compressed than in other species, ridges 

 prominent; vittse as long as the carpel, those of the lateral fiirrows usually 2, commis- 

 sural 2-4. 



Tab. ? StocJcsii ; dorsal and intermediate ridges (in the unripe fruit) slender 

 lateral ridges excurrent into a narrow very thin ring. Heracleum sp. 10, Herb. Ind. 

 Or. H. f. & T. — Concan ; Stocks. Fruit the same size as in H. concanense type, and 

 vittse the same. This may be a new species ; for the wing of the unripe fruit will 

 almost certainly dilate and will then be unlike that of H. concanense. 



20. K. pedatuxu, Wight. let. Z^; cauline leaves pedately 5-7-folio- 

 late, leaflets lanceolate serrate hairy sometimes again lobed deeply. 



'Deccan ; Shevagherry Hills, Wight. Bblgaum ; Law. 



Stem 12 in., or more, remotely hirsute. Petioles 2-6 in. ; leaflets 1—2 by J-| in. 

 Bracts usually 1, | in., linear-lanceolate; rays 5-6, 1-1^ in.; bracteoles 0-5, 

 ^-J in., lanceolate; pedicels 8-12, ^ in., in young fruit. Outer flowers of the 

 wmbel radiant ; calyx-teeth linear, prominent; style-bases large conical. Fruit very 

 immature in our specimen and in Wight's drawing. — The large style-bases and pedat« 

 leaves are not like Heracleum; the fruit promises to be like that of Schultzia.
