^ Var. maculata. Leaflets broader, from lanceolate to oblong- 
lanceolate, 1 to 5 inches long. — C. maculata L. 
Throughout the United States. 
We can discover no other difference between C. niactilalu L- and C. 
Kirosa L. than the one in the leaves noted above. 
■^Var. Californica. Upper leates simply pinnate: fruit with 
the more prominent dorsal and intermediate ribs nearly etpialling 
the laterals, and oil-tubes narrower. — C. Californica Gray, Proc. 
Am. x\cad. vii. 344. 
From California, San Francisco and northward to Oregon {Howell), 
Washington Territory iSuksdorf, Henderson), and Vancouver Island 
{Macoun). 
This variety seems to be confined to the western coast region, and is 
commonly distributed as 0. maculata. The fruit differences between this 
variety and the species depend only upon the development of the dorsal and 
intermediate ribs, and are closely connected by intermediate forms. The 
venation character, while tolerably constant in the species, cannot be used 
to separate this variety from it, although in some specimens the veinlets 
pass to the teeth instead of the sinuses with considerable regularity. 
2. C. bulbifera L. Spec. 255. Rather slender, 1 to 3 feet 
high: leaves twice or thrice pinnate (sometimes appearing ternate); 
leaflets linear, sparsely toothed, 1 or 2 inches long: upper axils 
bearing clustered bidblets: mature fruit not seen, nor to be found in 
herbaria. 
Common in swamps, from Lower Canada and the Saskatchewan re- 
gion, to Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. FI. July to September. 
Immature fruit, clearly showing Cicuta characters, were found in herb. 
Walter Deane, collected by L. H. Bailey near Lansing, Michigan. Packets 
of fruit reputed to be of this species had better be suspected unless seen 
on the plant. The fruit described and figured in Bot. Gazette, xii. 263, 
under this name, is that of Fa’nienJum vvlgare, put by mistake on the 
same sheet. 
3. C. Bolanderi Watson, Proc. Am. Acad. vi. 139. Leaves 
bipinnate; leaflets narrowly lanceolate, narrowly and sharply 
acuminate, 2 inches long, very acutely serrate; lower leaflets petiol- 
ulate, often deeply lobed: involucre of several linear bracts: fruit 
nearly orbicular, 2 lines long, strongly ribbed, and with broad oil- 
tubes which are sunk in the channelled seed. 
In salt marshes, at Suisun, California {Bolande r).
