222. Cymopterus ? anisatus, n. sp., called “ C. terebinthinusl
var. J'celnculaceus ’’ in Parry’s 1861 collection (No. 157); but it can hardly be
'either of Nuttall’s species nnder those names, on account of the very long and
subulate leaflets of the involucel as well as calyx-teeth, yet apparently rela-
ted tj^them; «the foliage, &c., very similar. Mature fruit not collected ; some
of the present collection pretty well formed has the wings abortive, while in
"younger fruits of 1861 these are obvious and somewhat undulate. This dubi-
ous plant inhabits ‘ * dry hills in the middle mountains, and is a very aroma-
tic herb.” The foliage of the dried specimens and the fruit have a pleasant
¡anisate flavor,—characters unknown in the polymorphous genus Cymopterus,,
[ ¿nd rendering the genus of this plant yet more doubtful.
