. The natural history of plants. Botany. 136 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. Charophyllvm {Anthrisms) silvestre. ternatipinnate leaves, and whose compound umbels have few-flowered, often capituliform umbellules, with an involucel of numerous bracts. The petals are entire, flat; and the stylophores, depressed and concave within, are exterior to two long subulate stylary branches. The fruit, oboval, compressed perpendicularly to the partition, has five linear little-developed ridges and numerous vittse. The carpo- phore is indistinct and the mericarps curve from summit to base; the face of the seed is concave. In Orogenia, which appears to us to constitute a section of the same genus, this concavity has three vertical ridges, one middle and two marginal, and the whole plant is said to have only two or three long petiolate leaves. In Oliveria, a Levant annual whose habit and the general appearance of its in- florescence have caused it to be referred to Lagcecia, though its umbels are really com- pound, there are five narrow sepals and petals much in- fiexed and adnate at the sum- mit, surmounted by two wide sahent auricles (correspond- ing to the margins of the organ). The two erect styles are accompanied in their lower half by long conical stylopods, and the fruit is oblong, much compressed per- pendicular to the partition, covered with thick hairs. The primary ridges are httle pro- minent and the vittse soUtary. The seed is more or less concave within. The bracts of the involucels are wide and three-lobed. Apart from its inflorescence, this genus nearly approaches the following. These form a small group Scandicinece or Gharophyllece. The fruit. Pig. 151. Floriferous branoli (^)..
