UMBELLIFERiE. 
3. B. falcatum (L.) ; st. branched, I. 5 — 7-nerved, lower I. 
elliptical-oblong on long stalks, upper I. linear-lanceolate acute 
sessile, partial involucre of 5 lanceolate pointed 1. as long as the 
flowers. — E. B. S. 2"G3. — Pedicels as long as the fruit. St. 1 — 4 
feet high.- — Near Ongar, Essex. P. VIII. E. 
4. B. rot undi folium (L.) ; st. branched above, I. oval perfoliate, 
fr. with the interstices striate. — E. B. 99. — General involucre 0. 
Partial involucre connivent.— Corn-fields on a calcareous soil.

17- CEnanthe Linn. 
1. CE. fistulosa (L.) ; root tuberous stoloniferous, st. and 
petioles fstulose, root 1. 2 — 3-pinnate with 3-fid leaflets, stem I. 
simply pinnate shorter than their petioles: leaflets linear, fr. an- 
gular turbinate. — E. B. 363. — St. 1 — 3 feet high, remarkably 
listulose. Stem 1. distant, with very long stalks. Scions with 
simply pinnate leaves. Umbels small, globose in fruit ; general 
involucre 0. Carpels tipped with the long slightly diverging 
rigid styles.— By ponds and ditches. P. VII. — IX. E. I. 
2. CE. Lacheualii (Gmel.) ; root of slender elongate-clavate 
tapering fleshy tubercles, root 1. bipinnate : leaflets oblong entire 
or uedgeshaped and bluntly 2 — 3-lobed, lower stem 1. 2 — 3-pin- 
nate upper simply pinnate : leaflets linear acute, radiant pet. di- 
vided to the middle, fruit oblong tapering below. — (E. pimpinel- 
loides Sm. E. B. 347. — St. 1 — 3 feet high, slightly branched. 
General involucre of many leaves, sometimes wanting ; partial of 
many leaves, shorter than the flowers. Fr. crowned with the 
rigid nearly erect styles. Root leaves very evanescent. — The 
true CE. pimpinelloides (L.) is stated by him to have the leaflets 
of its radical 1. " incisis ovatis,....cuneatis fissis,....divisis ; Hab. 
Monspelii." Specimens from the south of France (Toulouse) 
named CE. pimpinelloides have root 1. with wedgeshaped very 
deeply cut leaflets with acute lobes and cylindrical fruit with a 
peculiar callous truncate base. The English plant agrees well 
with specimens of CE. Lacheualii from Strasbourg.- — Salt marshes, 
rarely (another species?) near fresh water. P. VII. — IX. 
3. CE. peucedani folia (Poll.) ; " root of elliptical-oblong fleshy 
sessile knobs," radical 1. bipinnate, stem 1. pinnate, leaflets all 
linear acute, fr. " oblong narrowed below." — E. B. 348. — St. 
2 — 3 feet high, slightly branched. I have not seen the root or 
ripe fruit of British specimens. General involucre 0, partial of 
many leaves shorter than the flowers. Distinguished from the 
preceding by its uniform leaflets, sessile tubers and want of a 
general involucre. — Many authors refer the English plant to 
CE. silaifolia (Bieb.) of which Koch says " fructibus cylindricis 
hasi callo cinctis," as is the case in the true CE. pimjnnelloides,
