The same is true of the woody consistence and great development of the stems, of the form and size of the leaf- divisions.'^ Ferulago ^ is Ferula whose vittse, variable in number, often easily separate from the carpels, with the exterior coat of the fruit belonging to the receptacle.' They are mostly irregular, more numerous than those of the true Ferula and separated from each other by slightly elevated ridges. The umbels are also generally furnished with a polyphyllous involucre.
