13. C. glaucus Nutt, in Jour. Philad. Acad. vii. 28. Leaves 
and peduncles clustered at the summit of a short (sometimes elon- 
gated) caudex, more or less scabrous-puberulent: leaves tripinnate, 
the ultimate divisions crowded, linear-oblong, with revolute mar- 
gins: peduncles at first short, elongating in fruit and exceeding 
the leaves: umbels 5 to 15-rayed, with an involucre of setaceous 
bracts or none, and involucels of linear acute bractlets; rays 4 to 
12 lines long; pedicels 2 to 3 lines long: fruit 2 to 31^ lines long, 
the 2 to 5 carpel wings rather narrow: oil-tubes 3 to 5 in the 
broad intervals, 6 to 8 on the commissural side: seed-face deeply

19. PHELLOPTERUS Benth. Gen. Plant, i. 905.— Low 
tomentose-villous herbs on the sands of the sea-shore, with once 
or twice ternate or ternate-pinnate coriaceous leaves, ovate to 
roundish more or less confluent leaflets densely white tomentose 
beneath, involucre and involucels of subulate bracts, and glomerate 
whitish flowers. 
The fruit of this genus differs in no respect from that of Cymopterus, 
and we retain it only on account of its very peculiar habit and habitat; It 
is one of the Japanese and Oorean forms which have reached our western 
coast.
