nor in Australia, except Aciphylla be joined with it, as perhaps it should be. The New Zea- 
land species have ranked under Anisotome , in the New Zealand and Antarctic Floras. An- 
gelica montana has quite the habit of some of the species, but the broad lateral wings of the 
cirpels keep it distint. Some forms of L. aromaticum, however, approach so near A. deci - 
piens, that it is very difficult to distinguish them except by the carpels ; and some of the 
Ligustica here described without fruit may be Angelica.

base. Radical leaves 1-2 ft. long ; petiole as thick as the linger ; lamina 
ovate, 2-pinnate ; primary divisions linear-oblong ; leaflets 2 in. long, 1-1£ 
broad, obliquely cuneate-oblong, with broad decurrent bases, unequally 3-5- 
lobed and lobulate ; lobules acuminate, with needle-like pungent points, 
margin thickened, nerves all reticulate. Bracts with very large concave bases, 
2-3 in. diam. Umbels very numerous and large, 2-3 in. diam. ; involucral 
leaves of male flow'er as long as the rays, linear, membranous, 3-4-nerved. 
Flowers pale-pink. Fruit ± in. long, on pedicels as long, ovoid ; carpels

stout, 6-12 in. high. Leaves 4-10 in. long, ovate-oblong or linear-oblong, 
2-pinnate ; primary divisions 6-8 pairs ; leaflets y-1 in. long, short, sessile, 
cuneate-ovate or triangular-ovate, deeply unequally cut to the middle or below 
it into broad linear obtuse lobes, coriaceous, veins reticulate ; petiole 1-3 
in. long, stout, sheath membranous, narrow. Umbels few, subterminal, 
males 1^—2 in. diam. ; rays many ; involucral leaves linear-lanceolate. Fruit as 
in L. latifolium, but rather longer, \ in. long. 
Middle Island : Port Preservation, Lyall ; on trap cliffs, Shaw’s Bay, Otago, Lindsay. 
This approaches L. Haastii, but the leaves are less compound, sometimes almost simply pinnate, 
and the leaflets are cut into broader, blunt lobes. The Otago specimens are less coriaceous 
and larger than those of Port Preservation, but many more specimens are wanted.
