. The natural history of plants. Botany. UMBELLIFHB^. .101 hundred and fifty species,' perennial, rarely annual herbs, still more rarely shrubs or trees, inhabiting in great number the entire northern hemisphere of the old world, Africa from the Mediterranean to the Cape, andthe moun- tainous and tern- MeracUum Sphmdylimn. perate regions of tropical western America. Heracleum is very near the Peucedans, particularly, as we have said, to those of the section Pasti- naca. The leaves, like almost all the other parts of the plant, are often co- vered with soft or coarse hairs. The flowers (fig. 92, 93) are white and rarely yellow. The petals are generally ex- panded. The fruit (fig. 94) is much compressed or slightly depressed at the centre, ellip- tical, suborbicular, or oboval, and has its margins attenuated and drawn together till. Fig. 91.
