CHILI. 



[ UmbellifercB. 



atis reniformibus profunde 5-lobis, lobis ovatis obtusis bi-trifidis sinubus obtusis, pedun- 

 culis brevissimis trifloris, fructibus parvis. Hook. — Schlecht. et Cham, in Linncea, v. 1. p. 

 382. Hook. Bot. Misc. v. I. p. 324. 

 Hab. Conception. 



2. MULINUM. Pers. 



1. M. cuneatum ; foliis cuneatis trifidis segmentis planis cuspidatis, vagina elongata 

 rigida ciliata, uvnbella breviter pedunculata multiflora. — Fragosa spinosa. Ruiz et Pav. PI. 

 Per. v. 3. p. 27 ? — Azorella spinosa. Pers. ? 



Hab. Valparaiso. — The umbel is certainly not sessile, although the peduncles are not so long 1 as the 

 leaves ; on which account, we have quoted the above synonyms with doubt, the plant having been hitherto 

 described with a sessile umbel. We have also received specimens from Mr. Cruckshanks, but on none of 

 them have we been so fortunate as to find any fruit: we have referred it to Mulinum on account of its habit. 



3. ASTERISCIUM. Schlecht et Cham. 

 1. A. chilense ; foliis trilobis inciso-serratis, pedunculis elongatis sparsis, petalis pro- 

 funde emarginatis apicibus longissimis involutis, fructu basi angustiore, involucri foliolis 

 lanceolatis incisis. Hook. — Schlecht. et Cham, in Linncea, v. 1. p. 254. t. 5. f. 1. (fruct.) 

 Hook. Bot. Misc. v. 1. p. 332. t. 68. a. — Anisillo, vulgo Mouchu. Feuill. CM. v. 3. t. 2.

4. SANICULA. Linn. 



1. S. liberta ; foliis 5-partitis partitionibus cuneatis trilobis inciso-serratis serraturis 

 setoso-cuspidatis, floribus masculis paucis pedicellatis, pedicellis capillaribus fructus longi- 

 tudine. Schlecht. et Cham, in Linncea, v. 1. p. 253. 



Hab. Conception. — The above authors in the Linnsea have pointed out the following characters to dis- 

 tinguish these, the allied species, from the present : — 1. S. canadensis. Linn.; pedicellis brevibus crassis fructu 

 triplo brevioribus. — 2. S. canadensis. Spr. — S. marylandica. Willd. En. — Jacq. Coll. 2. p. 239. Ic. Rar. t. 348; 

 floribus masculis numerosis longius pedicellatis. — 3. S. marylandica. Spr. — Lam. 111. t. 19), f. 2; floribus 

 masculis paucis subsessilibus. — The S. marylandica of Linnseus is involved in much obscurity.
