FI. Masc. Similis sed ovarium carens, calyx ur- 
ceolatus 5 fidus.— Umbellis simplicibus involu- 
cratis.—Obs. This genus is certainly not a 
Panax , as Robin says ; but it has the greatest 
analogy with Sanicula , from which it differs by 
the divided calyx, crowned fruit, and double 
polygamy. The name means three beds. The 
Sanicula marilandica must belong to the same 
genus.
