UMBELLIFERiE. ^o 



This resembles the preceding species, and may possibly pass into 

 it: but it is more cinereous or canescently pubescent throughout; the 

 leaflets of the involucel are dissected, either pinnately parted or pal- 

 mately trisected, with the segments pinnatifid and incised, exceeding 

 the rays when in flower, although not equalling the mature, oblong, 

 cinereous-tomentose fruit. The latter is 2 J or almost 3 lines long, and 

 commonly twice as long as the pedicels. The flowering stems or 

 peduncles are thick and fistulous at the base. Petals hirsute-pubescent 

 externally.

Hab. Orange Harbour, Fuegia. (Much resembling the 0. brevi- 

 stylis of North America, except that it has neither involucre nor 

 involucel.)

There is an Umbelliferous plant of large size, apparently resembling 

 an Angelica or Pcstinaca, growing on the mountains of Kauai, one of 

 the Sandwich Islands. Only a leaf (pinnate, with 7 large ovate 

 leaflets) and the inflorescence of the preceding year, from which all 

 the fruit has fallen, were collected. The carpophore is 4 lines long.
