Roots several, fleshy, tuberiform, ovoid, or oblong; leaves petioled, bipinnate, or tripinnate, the lower often 1° long, and on long petioles, the upper smaller; leaf-segments lanceolate, or lance- oblong, coarsely and sharply serrate, I'-5'long, their veins apparently ending in the notches; umbellets many-flowered: pedicels unequal, 2"-4" long in fruit; fruit oval to suborbicular, l"-li" long.
