or pinnate (not merely ternate) ; lfts. somewhat leafy lanceolate 
deeply cut, the terminal one of upper 1. somewhat produced and 
drooping ; umbels lateral oppositifolious, erect in bud, on short 
stout ped., 8-10-rayed ; partial umbels flat ; fl. small dull w., 
radiant pet. as long as ov. ; gen. inv. 1 -leafed or 0 j styles long 
and slender, in fl. 3 or 4 times the length of stylopod or as long 
as ov., in fr. elongate and quite overtopping the rather long 
spreading or ascending retro-scabrous and stellately capitulato- 
glochidiate bristles. — Herb. ann. Mad. reg. 1, rrr. Waste ground 
amongst crops and vineyards above the Quinta do Valle near 
Funchal, descending from the end of the Levada de S ta Luzia. 
July 5, 1829. — With more the foliage of T. tenuifolia and the 
fl. of T. obscura, this is distinct in habit from both. St. erect 
straight smooth and even, about 2 ft. high, with shortish erect 
or erectly spreading side-branches at regular intervals all the 
way up, not widely fork-branched and straggling. Foliage ad- 
pressedly pubescent but soft not harsh or strigose, as decom- 
pound as in T. tenuifolia but with larger or more leafy subdivi- 
sions. Umbels numerous but from their short ped. chiefly lateral 
and not rising above the foliage exactly as in Anthriscus vul- 
garis Pers. ( Scandix Anthriscus L., EB. t. 818). Ped. stout 
(mostly f-1) in. long strongly angular closely retro-hispid. 
Partial rays 3-6 or 7 lines long, not slender, closely erecto- 
hispid. Umbels mostly 9- or 10-rayed, f-1 in. in diam. Fl. 
small dull w. and inconspicuous, the radiant pet. half a line long. 
Styles in fl. long distinct and prominent. Gen. inv. mostly 0, 
when present linear-setaceous like the several partial inv. Fr. 
rather large thickly clothed with rather long bristles longer 
than the semidiameter of the fr. yet not more than half the 
length of the prominent conspicuous slender capitate divari- 
cately spreading or recurved styles. 
The foregoing description is taken from the single spec, dis- 
covered by myself in 1829 and communicated in 1832 to my 
friend J. J. Bennett, Esq., by whom it has been kindly returned 
to me for the purpose. Considering the obscurity hanging over 
this whole genus and the strong general resemblance of its sp., 
it is less surprising that it has not since been noticed either by 
myself or other Mad. botanists. 
The Canarian Toriles , combined into one mass with 4 or 5 
distinct European sp. in WB. ii. 166 under the name of T. in- 
festa Smith, will require a careful separate investigation. At 
present I can only say that of the 4 or 5 that have come under 
my observation, with possibly the exception of T. africana 
Bourg. (not Spr.) PI. Can. no. 822 in BII., they all appear dis- 
tinct alike from every European and Mad. sp.
