. The natural history of plants. Botany. Fig. 96. Trans, sect, of fruit (f). Angelica Fig. 97. Fruit. Fig. 98. Trans, sect. of ftuit (f). The Angelicas (fig. 97-99) have given this name to a small group (Angelicece) referred by some authors to the series of Peucedanece, and by others to that of Seselinem. With us they connect the two, as do certain other types ordi- narily attributed to the Sese- linem. The characteristic of the latter is considered to be the earlier separation of the two corresponding margins of their carpels, whilst in the Peucedanece this separation is later. We shall see that in certain cases this is a point difficult to appreciate, and one on which the distinction of two tribes cannot be firmly based. We may mention that the same is true of the form and thickening of the mericarps, often identical in the two groups. The Angelicas may then be defined as Peucedanece- with white or purple flowers, the petals of which are often narrowed to a short and inflexed point, and ovoid fruit, more or less compressed at the back, whose primary ridges are but little prominent, especially the lateral which form a membranous and bilamellate wing. There is one vitta in each furrow, whilst there are several in Angelica officinalis (fig. 99), for this reason generically dis- • tinguished under the name Archangelica, but which we can retain.
