UMBELLIFER^E.

Hab. Eio Negro, North Patagonia. Orange Harbour, Fuegia; 

 abundant on the coast. Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Also (the 

 var. /?., Hook, f.) Hunter's River, New South Wales. 



Different as the specimens of the var. /?. (the Peiroselinum pros- 

 trahim, DC.) appear to be from the var. a. (which represents in the 

 southern hemisphere the Celery of Northern Europe), Dr. Hooker 

 states that he has seen the two growing from the same stem, in Tas- 

 mania. Dr. Hooker speaks of its excellence both as a salad and a 

 pot-herb in the Antarctic regions. Our naturalists do not refer to its 

 qualities or use. The fruiting specimens all have very thick ribs to 

 the fruit, which is larger than in A. graveolens. No other positive 

 distinction has been noted. 



2. Apium graveolens, Linn. 



Hab. Rio Janeiro, Brazil; among rocks on the shore. Doubtless 

 escaped from cultivation. 



15. PETROSELINUM, Hojfm. 

 1. Petroselinum peregrinum, Lag. 



Petroselinum pereyrinum, Lag.; Koch, Umb. p. 128; DC. Prodr. 4, p. 102. 



Hab. Madeira ; on rocks at Corral. 



16. HELOSCIADIUM, Koch. 



1. Helosciadium leptophyllum, DG. 



Hab. Brazil, near Rio Janeiro. Peru, around Obrajillo. New 

 South Wales, near Sydney and Hunter's River; where probably it is 

 not indigenous.
