26. DAUCUS, Tourn. 



1. Daucus Carota, Linn. 



Hab. Bay of Islands, New Zealand. (Probably strayed from culti- 

 vation, and not naturalized. It is not mentioned by Dr. Hooker.) 



2. Daucus pusillus, Michx. 



Daucus pusillus, Michx. Fl. Bor.-Am. 1, p. 164; Torr. & Gray, PL N. Amer. 1, 

 p. 636. 



Hab. Eio Negro, North Patagonia; on sand-hills. Hawaii, Sand- 

 wich Islands ; on the bullock plains of Mouna Kea, and in the district 

 of Waimea : probably introduced with cattle. 



The specimens are all of the large and scabrous-hirsute form which 

 occurs in California (the var. scaber, Torr. & Gray, 1. c.) ; the stout 

 stems a foot or two in height, the many-rayed and dense umber 

 scarcely exceeding the involucre. It belongs to the section Carota, 

 and is surely distinct from the following. 



3. Daucus brachiatus, Sieber. 



Daucus brachiatus, Sieber, PL Exsic. N. Holl. no. 115; DC. Prodr. 4, p. 214; Benth. 



PL Hugel. p. 56; Bunge, in PL Preiss. 1, p. 295; Hook. f. FL N. Zeal. p. 91. 

 D. montanus, Willd. in Schult. Syst. Yeg. 6, p. 482. 

 D. australis, Poepp. ; DC. 1. c. 

 D. Montevidensis & D. toriloides, DC. 1. c. 

 Scandix ylochidiata, Labill. PL N. Holl. 1, p. 75, t. 102. 



Hab. Peru, around Obrajillo. Bay of Islands, New Zealand. 

 Sydney and Hunter's River, New South Wales. 



With Bentham and Bunge, I cannot distinguish the Australian 

 from the South American plant. The latter extends north to Mexico.
