Watery places, by ditches and rivers, frequent. If. 7. — Root 
consisting of large fusiform sessile knobs. Plant 3 — 5 ft. high. This 
differs from all the preceding in the great breadth of its leaflets, and 
the large, much ramified stems, the juice of which becomes often 
yellow when exposed to the air. Gen. invol. usually of a few leaves. 
6. (E. Phelldndrium Lam. (fine-leaved IE.) ; “stem erect 
thickened at the base with many whorled fibres, leaves tripin- 
nate their segments simple or pinnatifid, those of the submersed 
ones capillary, umbels lateral opposite to the leaves, fruit ovate 
twice as long as the nearly erect styles.” Colem. in E. B. S. 
t. 2944 (ad calcem). Phelland. aquaticum L. : E. B. t. 684. 
Ditches and ponds. Not uncommon in England. Very rare in 
Scotland. g. 7 — 9. 
7. CE. fluvidtilis Colem. (River IE.) ; “ stem ascending floating 
attenuated and creeping at the base, leaves bipinnate, segments 
simple or pinnatifid, those of the submersed ones wedge-shaped 
pellucid cut with many parallel nerves, umbels lateral opposite 
to the leaves, fruit broadly elliptical thrice as long as the 
spreading styles.” Colem. in E. B. S. t. 2944. 
Streams in the middle and south-east of England, where it is more 
common than the last. <?• 7 — 9. — This has certainly a different 
appearance from the last, but we are not satisfied that it is not the 
same species growing in deeper and running water : we can perceive 
no difference in the form of the fruit. It was first noticed by Dillenius, 
and seems to have been considered till lately a form of the last by 
both British and foreign botanists. See the Phytol. iv. p. 673. 
17. xEthusa Linn. Fool’s-Parsley. (Tab. II. f. 17.) 
Fruit ovate-globose. Carpels with 5 acute ribs ; interstices 
deeply acutangular with single vittee. Cal.-teetli minute. Pet. 
obcordate, with an inflected point. (Partial involucre of 1 — 3 
unilateral pendulous or spreading leaves.) — Named from aiOw, to 
burn ; on account of its acrid quality. 
1. JE. Cynapium L. (common F.) ; leaflets wedge-shaped de- 
current with lanceolate bluntish segments, rays of the umbel 
nearly equal, involucre none, partial one longer than the umbel. 
E. B. t. 1192. 
Fields and gardens. ©. 7, 8. — Stem a foot high, striate, 
branched, very leafy. Leaves glabrous, doubly, or the lower ones 
trebly, pinnate ; segments ovate-lanceolate, variously cut. Umbels 
terminal, on long stalks ; partial ones small, distant. Partial invol. of 
3 long, pendulous leaves, all on one side. 
18. Fceniculum Hoffm. Fennel. (Tab. II. f. 18.) 
Fruit oblong. Carpels with 5 prominent, obtuse ribs, with 
single v it tee in the interstices. Styles short. Cal.-teetli obsolete.
