With the habit, imparipinnate leaves and inflorescence of Myodocarpus, Delarbrea (fig. 194, 195) has the same flower except that the petals are more or Delarbrea colUna. less constricted at the base, the styles en- larged to a mass; in the fruit, ovoid or spherical and without wingSj the vesicular oleoresinous reservoirs are less developed, and the seeds, very con- cave within, have mar- gins more or less in- volute and regularly disposed longitudinal channels like those observed in so large a number of the true Umbelliferce. Fseudosciadium Balansoe, a New Caledonian shrub, with stem simple or nearly so, is intermediate between the two preceding genera and the Umhelliferce proper, of which it has quite the flowers, but disposed.
