branchlets, umbels, and fruit, with fewer leaves; leaflets
1--2-pinnatifid_, the lobes linear or oblong; one or two leaves near the
base often very large and long-petioled; flowers light yellow; fruit

Calyx-teeth obsolete. Fruit oblong or ovate, flattened laterally if at

intervals; oil-tubes 2--6 in the intervals, 6--10 on the commissure.
Stylopodium conical.--Smooth perennials, from large aromatic roots, with
large ternately compound leaves, mostly no involucre, involucels of
narrow bractlets, and white flowers in large many-rayed umbels. (Named
from the country _Liguria_, where the officinal _Lovage_ of the gardens
abounds.)

perennial, with 2--3-ternate leaves on very large inflated petioles,
few-leaved deciduous involucre, involucels of numerous small
