upper simply pinnate, Jts. linear acute, radiant pet. divided to 
the middle, fr. oblong narrowed below.— 5. pimpinelloides Sm., 
E. B. 347.—St. 1—3 feet high, slightly branched. General inv. 
of many leaves, sometimes wanting; partial of many leaves, 
shorter than the barren flowers. Outer fl. on long stalks, mostly 
barren; inner fl. fertile, nearly sessile. Radiant pet. roundish- 
obcordate with a short narrow claw. Partial umbels distinct, 
spherical. Fr. crowned with the inflexed calyx. Root-leaves 
very evanescent.—Marshes. P. VIJ.—IX. 
4. G. silaifolia (Bieb.?); root of elliptical-oblong knobs, 
radical 1. bipinnate, st.-l. pmnate, lés. all linear acute, external 
fr. nearly cylindrical with « corky base.—E. B. 348.—St. 2—3 
feet high, branched. Outer fl. stalked, mostly barren; cal. very 
unequal ; radiant pet. small, obcordate with an attenuated base ; 
notch } their length. Fr. usually slightly narrowed downwards, 
in the middle of the umbel much narrowed and appearing to want 
the corky base; cal. erect or inflexed. General involuere 0, 
partial of many leaves shorter than the flowers. Distinguished 
from the preceding by its pet., uniform leaflets, want of a general 
involucre, and fruit.—Scarcely GE. silaifolia (Bieb.), not Gs. peu- 
cedanifolia (Poll.)—In freshwater marshes. P. VI. E. 
5. Gi. crocata (L.); root of large fusiform tubers, radical 1. 
2—3-pinnate, stem-l. pinnatifid, leaflets stalked roundish or 
oblong-wedgeshaped variously cut those of the upper 1. narrower, 
fr. cylindrical oblong striated longer than its pedicel.—F. B. 
2313.—St. 3—5 feet high, much branched. _L. large, Its. broad. 
Inv. various in number and shape.—Wet places. P. VII. 
** Root of whorls of slender fibres. 
6. G. Phellandrium (Lam.); st. erect fusiform below, 1. tri- 
pinnate, /ts. ovate pinnatifid cut spreading, of the submersed 1. 
multifid with capillary diverging segments, umbels lateral opposite 
to the leaves, fr. ovate—H. B. 684.—St. 2—3 feet high, very 
thick below, stoloniferous. Segments of the 1. numerous, fine, 
acute, pale green; submersed ]. dark green. The flowering root 
dies each year, but the plant is continued by the offsets—In the 
water of ditches and ponds. B.? VII.—IX. 
7. G. fluviatilis (Colem.) ; st. floating, 1. bipinnate, /ts. simple 
or pinnatifid, of the submersed 1. cuneate cut pellucid with many 
parallel nerves, umbels lateral opposite to the 1., fr. broadly ellip- 
tical —A. N. H. xi. 188. E. B.S. 2944.—A decumbent floating 
plant well marked by the submersed Its. being divided into finger- 
like acute broadly linear parallel segments deeply incised at the end. 
Lts. of the upper 1. broader than those of Gt. Phellandrium.— 
Streams. B. or P. VII.—IX. E.
