[ (Enanthe. 
fibres. Stem-leaves distant ; the leaflets, which are few, linear, and 
small, are confined to the upper extremity of the leaves. Univ. invol. 
wanting. Fruit sessile, large, turbinate, angled, corky, tipped with 
the long slightly diverging styles, and forming dense globose heads 
3-5 lines in diameter. 
2. (E. pimpinelloides L. {callous- fruited TV.) ; leaflets and seg- 
ments very acute or mucronate, those of the radical leaves much 
broader and shorter, fruit cylindrical with an enlarged callous 
base. Jacq. Austr. t. 394. 
Pastures in England, particularly in the counties of Gloucester, 
Worcester, Dorset, and Devon ; abundant in the Isle of Wight. 
Rare in salt-marshes ; Isle of Wight ; and Bishopstone, near Sea- 
ford, in Sussex. If.. 6 — 8. — Boot of long slender fibres swelling 
into a round or oval knob about or beyond the middle. Gen. invol. 
sometimes wanting, usually with several persistent leaves. Umbels 
compact. Fruit as broad as the calyx. 
3. (E. Lachendlii Gmel. {Parsley TV.) ; leaflets of the lower 
leaves linear obovate or cuneate-trifid obtuse mucronate, of the 
upper ones acute, fruit turbinate or oblong narrowest and with- 
out a callosity at the base. (E. pimpinelloides Sm. : E. B. 
t. 347. 
Salt-marshes in England, not uncommon ; more rare in fresh 
water. In Scotland chiefly on the west coast and always near the 
sea. ’if.. 7 — 9 Boot of sessile, long, clavate, fusiform knobs, or 
subcylindrical thick fibres. Gen. invol. sometimes wanting, usually 
several-leaved and persistent. Umbels lax, so that the partial ones are 
not close to each other. Fruit broader than the calyx. The radical 
leaves disappear very early, so that practically this must he distin- 
guished from the preceding by the fruit and root. Perhaps it is a 
mere variety of (E. peucedani folia Poll. 
4. (E. silaifulia Bieb. {Sulphur-wort TV.) ; leaflets and seg- 
ments of the lower stem-leaves linear-lanceolate acute scarcely 
broader than those of the upper stem-leaves, fruit subcylindri- 
cal callous at the base. CE. peucedanifolia Sihth. (not Poll.) : 
E. B. t. 348. 
In fresh-water marshes and meadows rare. Counties of Oxford, 
Bedford, Gloucester, Worcester, Leicester, Surrey, and Sussex. 
Very rare, in salt-marshes, as at Portmarnock, Co. Dublin, Ire- 
land. If. 6 Boot of sessile, rather short, clavate, or oblong, fusi- 
form knobs. Branches very fi Mu lose. Gen. invol. usually wanting, 
or of a few caducous leaves. Umbels lax. 
5. (E. crocdta L. {Hemlock TV.) ; leaves tri-quadripinnate, 
leaflets stalked cuneate-ovate or roundish cut and serrate, those 
of the upper leaves narrower, fruit cylindrical oblong without a 
callous base. E. B. t. 2313.
