minute or 0. Petals ' entire or retuse. Stylopods depressed, 

 marginally entire or undulate. Fruit longer or shorter ovoid, dorsally 

 compressed ; dorsal and intermediate ridges slightly prominent, not 

 or very narrow winged ; the lateral produced to rather thick {Levis- 

 ticum *) or suhmembranous wings ; margin double from early separa- 

 tion of wings ; commissural face narrower. Vittae in cells solitary 

 (Euangelica, Levisticwm), or oo (Archangelica^). Carpophore 2- 

 partite. Seed dorsally compressed, face flat or slightly concave. 

 Herbs oftener tall; leaves pinnately or ternately compound or 

 decompound; laciniae generally broad dentate; umbels compound, 

 00 -radiate ; bracts of involucres oo (Levisticum), narrow, or few, 

 sometimes ; bracteoles of involucels setaceous or (Archangelica, 

 Euangelica), sometimes oo {Levisticwm), connate at base. (Europe, 

 north. America, north, and arctic Asia, N. Zealand.*)
