atis renifqrmibus profunde 5-lobis, lobis ovatis obtusis bi-trifidis sinubus obtusis, pedun-

Per. V. 3. p. 27 ? — Azorella spinosa. Pers. ? 
Hab. Valparaiso. — The umbel is certainly not sessile, although the peduncles are not so long aS the 
leaves ; on which account, we have quoted the above synonyms with doubt, the plant having been hitherto 
described with a sessile umbel. We have also received specimens from Mr. Cruckshanks, but on none of 
them have we been so fortunate as to find any fruit : w'e have referred it to Mulinum on account of its habit.

Hab. Conception. — The above authors in the Linnjea have pointed out the following characters to dis- 
tinguish these, the allied species, from the present : — 1. S. canadensis. Linn.; pedicellis brevibus crassis fructu 
triple brevioribus. — 2. S. canadensis. Spr. — S. marylandica. WiUd. En. — Jacq. Coll. 2. p. 239. Ic. Rar. t. 348 ;
