322 PHANEROGAMOUS PLANTS. 



short rays. Leaflets of the involucels narrow and numerous. Calyx- 

 teeth lanceolate, conspicuous, erect, or reflexed. Petals apparently 

 white, broadly obovate with an inflexed point. Stylopodium much 

 depressed. Styles short and recurved. Fruit broadly oblong in out- 

 line, nearly half an inch long. Carpels dorsally compressed; the 

 dorsal ribs strongly winged, nearly as broad as the lateral ones, all of 

 the wings thick and somewhat corky. Commissure flat. Seeds mod- 

 erately concave on the face. Dorsal vittae adhering to the surface of 

 the seed, usually 10, but sometimes 9, 11, or 13; those of the com- 

 missure very generally 4. 



This remarkable species appears to be very rare. We have received 

 it only from the places here noticed. [Dr. Cooper collected it at 

 Shoalwater Bay in the same region. Mr. Charles Wright, still 

 earlier, on the coast of the Loo Choo Islands, and finally, Glehn and 

 Maximowicz on the shores of Japan, Sachalien, &c. The name of 

 Glelmia was first given to it, but no character published, which is 

 fortunate, as that is too near Glenniea of Hooker.] 



16. CYMOPTEKUS, Nutt. 



1. Cymopterus terebinthinus, Torr. & Gray. 



Hab. On the Walla- Walla River; in sandy places; common. — The 

 stem is somewhat branching, with very long fructiferous peduncles. 

 One of the carpels has a single broad and two narrow wings ; the 

 other two broad and one narrow one. The same diversity occurs 

 in several other species of this genus. 



17. ANGELICA, Linn. 



1. Angelica genuflexa, Nutt. in Torr. & Gray. 



Hab. Puget Sound. — Resembles Archangelica atropurpurea, but is a 

 true Angelica. It is a tall, coarse species. Leaves ternately divided ;
