ANALYTICAL DRAWINGS OF THE IVY AND PARSLEY 
FAMILIES — continued. 
of such a flower, little more than natural size ; Fig. 5 is an enlarged side view of 
part of the surface of the fruit, to show the hooked bristles ; and Fig. 6, a transverse 
section through the whole fruit, shows both these bristles and the oil-vittae in the 
pericarp. 
The fifth line of figures illustrates the Shepherd’s Needle ( Scandix Pecten- 
Veneris Linn£), Fig. 1 being a single flower seen from above and slightly enlarged, 
showing the bilobed petals, one of which is “ radiant ” or enlarged. Fig. 2 is a side 
view of a flower, showing that the “ beak ” of the receptacular tube has already 
elongated ; Fig. 3 gives two views of a fully-formed fruit crowned by the styles ; 
Fig. 4 shows the ripe cremocarp dehiscing into two mericarps, these three figures 
being natural size ; Fig. 5 is a transverse, and Fig 6, a longitudinal, section of a 
mericarp, the former showing the vittae, whilst in the latter the upper part of the 
beak has been omitted. 
The figures in the sixth line are those of the Fennel ( Fceniculum vulgare 
Miller), Fig. 1 being an enlarged view of a flower as seen from above ; Fig. 2, 
a longitudinal section, omitting the stamens but showing clearly the broad inflexed 
points of the entire petals, the two pendulous and anatropous ovules, and the two 
styles. Fig. 3 is a fruit, natural size ; Fig. 4 shows the same, slightly enlarged, 
with mericarps separating from a Y-shaped carpophore ; and Fig. 5, a more enlarged 
transverse section. 
The figures of the penultimate row are those of the Rock Samphire ( Crithmum 
maritimum Linne). Fig. 1 shows a flower in side view ; Fig. 2, the same as seen 
from above ; Fig. 3, two of the incurved stamens and petals ; Fig. 4, a fruit ; and 
Fig. 5, the same in transverse section, all the figures being enlarged. 
The figures in the last line represent the Cow-Parsnip ( Heracleum Sphondylium 
Linne). Fig. r, one of the outermost flowers of the umbel, natural size, shows the 
marked monosymmetry produced by the symmetrical enlargement of one bilobed 
petal and the unsymmetrical enlargement of the two on either side of it. Figs. 2 
and 3 are enlarged views of the ovary, disk, and styles, at an early stage, seen from 
different aspects ; Fig. 4 is an unripe fruit, natural size ; and Fig. 5 shows one 
carpel with its commissural face removed, so as to disclose the seed.
