27. CEnanthe T.* — Flowers hermaphrodite or polygamous ; sepals 

 generally acute, finally somewhat rigid or more rarely {Dasyloma,^ 

 Phellandrium,^ Grantzia'') more slender, not accrescent, more rarely 

 deciduous. Petals emarginate, 2-lobed or more rarely entire (Gyno- 

 sciadium^). Stylopods short or oftener long-conical, sometimes depressed 

 (Grantzia), at base entire or undulate. Fruit obovoid, transversely 

 subterete or rather compressed at back {Eurytcenia '). All ridges 

 obtuse suberose {Eucenanthe,^'^ Phellandrium, Gynosdadium) or slightly 

 prominent {Sclerosdadiwm^^); the lateral sometimes ihidkex {Grantzia) 

 or 3-angular very thick (Discopleura ^^), sometimes broader aliform 

 (Daucosma^^) or approximate {Eurytcenia) ; the dorsal sometimes more 

 acute ; the intermediate linear {Eurytcenia). Carpophore 0, or scarcely 

 visible {Euoenanthe, Grantzia), sometimes 2-fid or 2-partit^ {Gynosda- 

 dium, Discopleura, Eurytcenia), more rarely simple or duplex {Sdero-

 thin. Face of seed generally flat. — Grlabrous often aquatic herbs ;

 transversely nodose- septate petiole (Grantzia) ; umbels" simple 

 (Grantzia), or oftener compound; bracts of involucres and involucels 

 small or linear, sometimes 3-5-sect {Eurytcenia, Discopleura), often few 

 or ; rays of sterile flowers sometimes (Actinanthus ^') indurate or
