37 OROijENIA Watson Bot, King. 120, t. 15. 



Dwarf glabrous nearly acaulescent plants from tuberous or 

 fusiform, roots with ternate leaves and linear segments, no in-

 subcompound umbels with very unequal rays. Calyx-lobes 

 minute. Fruit oblong, very slightly flattened laterally, glabrous. 

 Carpel much flattened dorsally with filiform dorsal and interme- 

 diate ribs : laterals excessively corky- thickened, involute (that is, 

 extended towards the other carpel leaving between the com- 

 missural faces a cavity which is divided longitudinally by a 

 thick corky projection from the middle of each face). Oil-tubes 

 very small, 3 in the intervals, 2-4 on the commissure.
