This species has been much confused with Carum Gairdneri and C. Ore- 
(funum by collectors, and under these names it is found in herbaria. A 
glance at the conspicuous scai'ious-bracted involucels, broadh'' concave 
seed-face, and numerous oil-tubes, should at once distinguish it from any 
Carum. It is an interesting fact that a species thought to be so local is 
now found to be somewhat widely distributed through contiguous parts of 
California, Nevada, and Oregon, having heretofore concealed its identity 
under a general similarity of habit to Carum. 
•^4. E. Pringlei. One to two feet high: leaves pinnately com- 
pound, with broad inflated midrib and distinct divisions, which are 
cut into a few narrowly linear almost Aliform segments: umbel 3 
to 8-rayed, with scanty involucre, and involucels of numerous sub- 
scarious lanceolate bractlets about a third as long as the pedicels 
(sometimes nearly as long); rays about 2 inches long; pedicels 3 to 
6 lines long: fruit oblong, 2 to 2^ lines long, about half a line 
broad: oil-tubes 3 to 5 in the intervals, 8 on the commissural side.

loggii. 
This very distinct species has also been collected an n Carum. Its 
leaf characters are so marked that it shovld be readily recognized. 
Var. simplex is a form with 3 to 5 linear-lanceolate entire 
leaflets, and smaller involucels. 
Sierra county, California (Lemmon, in 1874.) 
The fruit is immature, but the oil-tubes are 2 or 8 in the intervals, and 
4 on the commissural side. Mature fruit may show specific distinctions. 
Distributed as Carum G airdneri.
