leaves triternate multipartite segments linear or 
setaceous, umbel. 5-6fid, umbellules commonly 
triflore, pedicels equal, invol. 3 lanceolate mi- 
nute — in Carolina and Florida, bipedal not hum- 
ble, my specimens are in fruit, brown, realy 
warty, hardly squamose. Here is a sp. put in

icat. Coll, herb. — Smooth dichotome, leaves 
short bipinnate. segments narrow linear, umbels 
2-4fid, umbelules 3-5flore, pedicels unequal, in- 
volucels 1 to 3 minute — annual like the others, 
with slender stems semipedal, branches diver-

783. Daucus scadiophylus Raf. stem grow- 
ed retrose pilose, leaves few short tripinnate 
hirsute, segments linear acute ; involucres 5-6 
foliose bipinnate ! partial simple as long as 
flowers, petals equal not radiate seeds hispid.- — 
Florida, Alabama and Georgia, a Southern 
Daucus so unlike the others, as to be almost a 
N. G. I shall form a subgenus of it (with the 
next) Gingidium with involucres bipinnate pe- 
tals not radiate. This is pedal and bipedal, the 
involucres nearly similar to the leaves, flowers 
small, seeds oblong hispid between the muricate 
ribs. 1>, L uciduSj being the same as D. gin -
