in any form we have yet seen, while even the lower ones are broader than in H. laciniaium, DC., which we 
consider a mere variety of this species.

Hab. Snake Country. Mr Tolmie. 
2. F, macrocarpa; pedalis, puberulo-glaucescens, foliis ternatim compositis, laciniis 
lato-linearibus decurrentibus basi angustatis apice acutissimis, involucro oligophyllo 
caducoj involucelli vix dimidiati foliolis oblongo-lanceolatis arete reflexis, fructibus ovato- 
oblongis pedicello longioribus. 
Nearly allied to the larger specimens of F. fmniculacea, from Carlton House, but the leaves are much less 
compound, and the ultimate segments longer. 
3. F. caruifolia; acaulis, glabra, virens, foliis latissime vaginatis supra decompositis, 
laciniis lineari-acuminatis, petiolo perbrevi, scapo folio paullo superante, involucro nullo, 
involucello magno monophyllo 10- 12-parti to, laciniis obovatis coloratis venosis erectis 
umbellam floriferam obvallantibus, fructibus lato-ellipticis. 
A very remarkable species, quite free from glaucescence, with extremely large sheathing bases to the leaves, 
the divisions of which resemble those of Carum Garni, and with an involucellum large in proportion to the 
umbels. The disk of the back of the fruit is much broader than the wing, whereas, in the two preceding 
species, they are pretty nearly equal. 
4. F. parvifolia; subcaulescens, glabra, foliis radicalibus petiolum subaequantibus 
circumscriptione deltoideis tripinnatifidis, laciniis ovatis acuniinatis incisis patentibus, 
caule subnudo foliis 3-4-plo longiore, involucro oligophyllo vel nullo, involucello sub-8- 
phyllo, foliolis lanceolato-subulatis erectis, fructibus late elliptico-obovatis. 
The leaves are small, not more than an inch and a half long, on slender petioles of the same length. The 
flowers are bright yellow. The disk of the fruit is scarcely so broad as the wing. We may here notice, that 
F. Palmella, Hook. FI. Bor. Am., is Cyncopterus glomeratus, Nutt.

Nuttall (PI. Rocky Mount, p. 27) refers this to Eulophus, but the fruit seems very diflFerent. He describes 
there two species, one glabrous and caulescent ; this, although not figured in the Flor. Bor. Am., was considered 
a mere form of S. triternatum; the other of Nuttall seems only to differ from our plant by being puberulous, 
while the true 8. triternatum is quite glabrous. 
1. Caucalis microcarpa ; piloso-hispida, foliis tripinnatifidis, umbella 4-5-radiata, 
involucri foliis sessilibus folia caulina simulantibus, umbellae radiis fructiferis 3-4-plo 
brevioribus, umbellulis fi-T-fidis, involucelli foliolis 3-4 linearibus, fructibus oblongo- 
ellipticis parvis, aculeis brevibus apice uncinatis. 
This has much the appearance of Anthriscus vulgaris, but wants the beak to the fruit ; it resembles like- 
wise C. daucoides and leptophylla, but the fruit is much smaller, and the leafy involucre is a peculiar charac- 
ter. Some of the young specimens are only two or three inches high, but one in fruit is upwards of a foot.
