SAXIFRAGES UMBELLIFERjE. 
2. Chrysosplenium Linn. Golden Saxifrage. 
1. C. alternifolium (L.) ; I. alternate, lower 1. subreniform 
hairy crenate upon long stalks. — E. B. 54. St. 12. — Crenatures 
of the lower 1. emarginate, upper 1. glabrous with the crena- 
tures often rather acute. St. erect, 4 — 5 in. high, branching 
only near the top. Fl. umbellate, nearly sessile, deep yellow. 
Stam. usually 8. — The anthers of this genus have only 1 cell and 
perhaps ought to be considered as 4 or 5 divided to the base of 
their filaments. — Boggy places. P. IV. 
2. C. oppositifolium (L.) ; I. opposite, lower 1. roundish-cordate 
shortly stalked wavy. — E. B. 490. St. 4. 6. — St. branching from 
the base, 4 — 6 in. long, decumbent, straggling. Fl. paler and 
more scattered than in the last. L. usually glabrous, sometimes 
slightly hairy. Stam. usually 8. — Damp shady places. P. IV.V. 
Order XXXVIII. UMBELLIFER7E. 
Cal. 5-toothed or entire, adherent to the ovary, limb often ob- 
solete. Pet. 5, usually indexed at the point. Stam. 5, inserted 
with the pet. on the mouth of the calyx. Ovary 2-celled, crowned 
with a double fleshy disk (stylopodium). Styles 2. Fr. consist- 
ing of 2 carpels (mericarps) adhering by their face (commissure) 
to a common axis from which they ultimately separate and be- 
come pendulous. Seed solitary pendulous. Albumen horny. — 
Inflorescence umbellate. — Each mericarp has 5 primary ridges and 
often 4 intermediate secondary ones with channels between, and 
in the substance of the pericarp are usually linear receptacles of 
oil (vitta?) under the channels or rarely the ridges. These parts 
are sometimes either wanting or only slightly apparent. 
Suborder I. ORTHOSPERMLE. 
Seed or albumen not-furrowed in front. 
* Umbels imperfect or simple. 
Tribe I. HYDROCOTYLEjE. Fr. laterally compressed, its 
back even or acute. 
1. Hydrocotyle. Cal. 1 obsolete. Pet. ovate, entire, acute, 
plane at the end. Fr. of 2 flat nearly orbicular mericarps or 
carpels, each with 5 filiform ridges, of which the dorsal and 
2 lateral are often obsolete, the 2 intermediate ones arched. 
Vittaa 0. Commissure linear. 
Tr. II. SANICULEsE. Transverse section of the fr. nearly 
round. 
2. Sanicula. Cal. of 5 leafy teeth. Pet. erect, obovate, with 
1 By calyx, throughout this Order, the free margin is intended.
