Certain South American species of Eryngium and the Australasian Aciphylla are remarkable for their monocoty- ledon-like leaves, which with a narrow parallel-veined blade and broad sheathing base recall those of Agave and Bromelia. Hydrocotyle and alhed genera have membranous stipules at the leaf-base. A genus, Pseudocarum, which climbs weakly by its petioles, occurs on Mt Ruwenzori in tropical Africa. There is also a wide range in the duration of life. The plant may be monocarpic, either passing through its life-history in one season, as Aethusa Cynapium (Fool's Parsley), or ac- cumulating strength for two or more seasons before flowering;.
