 species of herbs allied to Peu- 

 cedanuni and Angelica. Ben- 

 tham and Hooker attach it to 

 Peucedanum. In the breaking 

 lip of that genus (see Peuce-

 to be best treated as a distinct 

 genus, following Korli, Boissicr 

 and others. It has the habit of 

 Angplica. From Peucedanum 

 it (iitfers cliiftly in having thu 

 petals involute on the margin. 

 Involucre none; involueel

 pels dilated: fls. somewhat po- 

 lygamous. One species, T. ver-
