less prominent, often developed to wings entire or lobed, dentate or 

 pointed. Vittse under the secondary ridges, developed or indistinct. 

 — Annual or perennial herbs, rarely frutescent or arborescent, with 

 compound or decompound leaves and flowers in compound umbels. — 

 9 genera. 



II. EcHiNOPHOEE^.^ — Fruit ovoid, unilocular, woody (accompanied 

 or not by a rudiment of the other sterile carpel), surrounded by 

 indurated pedicels and more or less adnate to the infertile surrounding 

 flowers. Primary ridges only visible and little developed. Vittse 

 variable in number. — Perennial herbs, often, rigid, spinescent, with 

 compound or decompound leaves, flowers in decoinpound umbels, 

 umbellules containing a central female flower, the surrounding flowers 

 male. — 1 genus. 



III. Peucedane^.*— Fruit dicarpellar, with only primary ridges, 

 much compressed parallel to the partition, or little compressed and 

 with a transverse section circular or nearly so (Seselinem), commissure 

 generally wide, lateral ridges forming vittse or commissural wings 

 distinct (^Seselinece), or closely connected till the separation of the 

 mericarps (Eupeucedanece) . — Plants generally herbaceous, with leaves 

 ordinarily compound or decompound and umbels almost constantly 

 compound.— 27 genera. 



IV. CAEEiE.'-— Fruit dicarpellar, with only primary ridges, more or 

 less compressed perpendicular to the partition. — Plants whose organs 

 of vegetation and inflorescence are generally similar to those of the 

 Peucedanece. — 33 genera. 



V. Hydeocotyle^.* — Fruit dicarpellar or more rarely with only
