222. Cymopteru.3 ? anisatits, n. sp., called “ C. terebinthinus,}
va,T. ./<Bniculaceus ” in Parry’s 1861 collection (No. 157); but it can hardly be
either of Nuttall’s species under those names, on account of the very long and
subulate leaflets of the involucel as well as calyx-teeth, yet apparently rela-|
tedt^them; ¿he 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-
ious 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 Cymopterusl
$nd rendering the genus of this plant yet more doubtful.
