180 xxxvm. ujibellifeRjE. [ Angelica . 
C. Fruit neither prickly nor beaked , much and dorsally com- 
pressed: Albumen solid. (Gen. 24 — 28.) 
24- Angelica Linn. Angelica. (Tab. II. f. 24.) 
Fruit flat, with 2 wings on each side. Carpels with 3 elevated 
dorsal ribs, the lateral ones spreading into broad wings. Cal.- 
teeth small or obsolete. Pet. elliptical-lanceolate, entire and 
inflected at the point. — Named Angelic from its cordial and 
medicinal properties. 
1. A. * Archangelica L. ( Garden A.) ; terminal leaflet lobed, 
calyx 5-toothed, fruit without vittae, seed free marked with 
numerous vittae. F. B. t. 2561. Archangelica officinalis 
Hoffm. 
Watery places, rare. Birmingham; Dorking, Surrey; also in 
Durham: but nowhere truly wild. £. 7 — 9. — Stem 4 — 5 feet 
high, and from 1 — 2 inches in the thickest diameter, glabrous, fistu- 
lose. Leaves bipinnate ; flowers greenish-white. 
2. A. sylvestris L. (wild A.) ; leaflets equal ovate serrate at 
the base somewhat lobed, calyx-teeth obsolete, fruit with the 
interstices of (he ridges having single vittae, seed adhering with- 
out vittse. E. B. t. 1128. 
Moist woods and marshy places, especially near rivers, frequent. 
7, 8. — Plant 2 — 3 feet high. Stem purplish, pubescent above, 
as well as the umbels. — Inferior in its qualities to the former species. 
25. Peucedanum Linn. IIog’s-Fennel. (Tab. II. f. 25.) 
Fruit flat with a broad thin border. 1 Carpels with 5 slightly 
prominent nearly equidistant ribs, the 2 lateral ones obsolete, 
vittce single in the interstices. Pet. obovate or obcordate with 
an inflected point. (Partial involucre of many leaves.) — 
Named from irEinciy, a pine-tree , and Canoe, a gift ; on account of 
a resinous substance, which exudes from some of the species. 
1. P. officinale L. (Sea H., or Sea Sulphur-weecl) ; leaves five 
times tripartite, leaflets linear- filiform flaccid, involucres few- 
linear deciduous, calyx 5-toothed, fruit with a narrow margin. 
E. B. t. 1767. 
In salt-marshes, very rare. Kent and the coast of Essex. X. 
7 — 9. — Remarkable for its large umbels of yellow flowers , and its, 
long and extremely narrow leaflets. The whole plant, especially the 
root, has a strong sulphurous smell, and the latter yields a resinous 
substance, reckoned a stimulant, but of dangerous internal use. 
1 In this genus and the three next, the wing of the fruit, being composed of the 
margin of two carpels, may separate in maturity into a double wing ; but in Ange- 
lica the wing is always double.
