 thick and corky, as broad as the body; seed deeply sulcate beneath 

 the oil-tubes. 



Point Lobos, San Francisco, and northward along the coast beyond 

 the state boundary. July-Aug. 



2. A. tomentosa Wats. Stout, 2 to 5 ft. high, the stems and 

 especially the leaves finely tomentose, roughish-pubescent, or nearly 

 glabrous; leaves ternate, then pinnate; leaflets 2 to 3 in. long, ovate 

 or almost round, 3-lobed or obliquely 2-lobed, or not lobed and 

 merely oblique, irregularly serrate; petioles very much dilated at base; 

 rays 1|- to 4 in. long; pedicels 2 or 3 lines long; fruit oblong or 

 elliptical, glabrous, 3 to 4£ lines long; dorsal and intermediate ribs 

 small and acutish; lateral wings nearly equaling the body in breadth; 

 oil-tubes 2 on -the commissural side; seed somewhat sulcate beneath 

 the oil-tubes. 



Near the coast: San Francisco and Marin Co. 



Var. elata. Five to 8 ft. high; radical leaves as much as 4 ft. 

 long; leaflets ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, grayish puberulent, 4 to

Var. Californica (A. Californica Jepson). Roughish puberulent 

 on the leaves and ends of the rays, the stem glabrous; leaves biternate 

 or quinate, then once pinnate or partially bipihnate; leaflets ovate, 2 

 in. long, the terminal mostly 3-lobed at summit, the lower often 

 lobed or divided at base, all irregularly serrate with the serratures 

 mucronulate; rays unequal, 1 to 6 in. long; pedicels subequal, 3 lines 

 long; dorsal and intermediate ribs often winged; oil-tubes 2 or 3 in 

 the intervals, 2 on the face. — Vaca Mountains. May-June. Fr.

24. LEPTOTTENIA Nutt. 

 Tall stoutish glabrous perennials with thick fusiform roots and 

 pinnately compound leaves. Flowers yellow or purple, in compound 

 umbels. Involucre of few bracts or none. Involucels of small and 

 numerous bractlets or none. Fruit oblong to suborbicular, strongly 

 compressed. Lateral ribs with broad corky-thickened wings coherent 

 until maturity. Dorsal and intermediate ribs filiform and approxi- 

 mate. Oil-tubes 1 to 8 in the intervals, 2 to 10 on the commissural 

 side. (Greek leptos, narrow, and tainia, vittae or oil-tubes.) 



Leaflets 3-lobed or -parted, 1 in. long or more; involucels none; oil-tubes 



present 1. L. Californica. 



Leaflets dissected into small linear lobes ; involucels present; oil-tubes none. 



2. L. dissecta. 



1. L. Californica Nutt. Erect, 2 or 3 ft. high; glaucous; leaves 

 once or twice ternate, then pinnate; leaflets 1 in. long or more, cuneate- 

 orbicular or -obovate, 3-lobed or the terminal 3-parted, serrate above; 

 peduncles at summit abruptly widened into a disk-like dilatation; 

 rays subequal, 2 to 3 in. long; pedicels 1£ to 3 lines long; fruit ellip- 

 tical, narrowly winged, 4 lines long; oil-tubes 6 to 10 on the face (the 

 lateral frequently anastomosing), 3 or 4 in the intervals.
