Funpinella.J xxxvm. ujibellifer,e. 
3. C. verticilldtum Koch ( whorled C.) ; root fascicled, leaflets 
all capillary in short whorled segments. Sison L. : E. B. t. 395. 
In England, very rare; near Carlisle. In the flat parts of Wales, 
Killarney, and near liantry Bay, Ireland. Extremely abundant in 
moist hilly pasturages in the west of Scotland, especially near the 
Clyde. if.. 7, 8. — Leaves mostly radical; a long common petiole 
bears a number of opposite multifid capillary leaflets, whose spreading 
makes them appear whorled. Stem a foot high, slender. Umbels 
few, terminal. General and partial involucres very small, deflexed. 
12. Bunium Koch. Earth-nut. (Tab. I. f. 12.) 
Fruit oblong, crowned with the bases of the diverging or 
nearly straight styles. Carpels with 5 slender, obtuse ribs, and 
2 — 3 elongated linear vittce between them, and none upon the 
suture. Cal.-teeth obsolete. Pet. obcordate, with an inflected 
point. — Named from fiowog, a hill; where the plant delights to 
grow. 
1. B. Jlexuosum With. ( common E.) ; stem-leaves few nearly 
sessile with linear segments, general involucre 0 or 1 — 2-leaved, 
styles erect with a conical base. E. B. t. 988. 
Woods and pastures, frequent. If. 5, 6 . — Root a solitary 
tuber, much sought for by children and pigs. Stem solitary, erect, 
flexuose. Radical leaves triternate. Fruit oblong, moderately ribbed, 
a little narrower upwards, crowned with the straight styles, which 
have conical, elongated, tumid bases. 
13. Pimpinella Linn. Burnet-Saxifrage. (Tab. I. f. 13.) 
Fruit ovate, crowned with the swollen base of the reflexed 
styles. Carpels with 5 slender ribs, the interstices furrowed 
with 2 — 3 long linear vittce: suture with vittce. Cal.-teeth 
obsolete. Pet. obcordate, with an inflected point. (Invo- 
lucres 0 ) — Name altered, as Linnaeus informs us, from bipen- 
nula, or twice-pinnate ; in allusion to the division of the leaves. 
1. P. Saxifraga L. ( common B.); radical leaves pinnate, 
their leaflets roundish sharply serrate or cut, those of the stem 
bipinnate with linear segments, stems terete, fruit glabrous. 
E. B. t. 407. 
Dry pastures, frequent. If.. 7 — 9. — Stem-leaves few; lower and 
radical ones upon long stalks. Leaflets of the latter often deeply and 
pinnatifidly cut, and sometimes even bipinnatifid. Peduncles glabrous 
or densely pubescent ( P . nigra W.). 
2. P. rndgiia L. ( greater B.) ; leaves all pinnate, leaflets 
ovate-serrate somewhat cut the terminal one (rarely the late- 
ral ones) 3-lobed, stem angled and striate, fruit glabrous. 
E. B. t. 408.
