Planta robusta. | Caulis basi 1:5 em. diametro, fructifer ultra 6 dm. altus, 
'"amosus, Folia orbiculato-reniformia, circumcirca argute calloso-dentata, in 
sicco membranacea, radicalia longe petiolata, profunde cordata, lobis basi- 
laribus eonniventibus, caulina inferiora longe, superiora breviter petiolata, 
sinu aperto. Flores plures in umbellam pauci-(2-4)-radiatam basi plerumque 
bracteis 2 instructam dispositi, 3-4 cm. diametro; bracteis sessilibus, 
majusculis, flabellato-orbiculatis, argute profundeque dentatis; pedunculis 
initio brevibus ad 3 em. longis, post anthesin valde elongatis ; carpellis usque 
12, submaturis erectis. 
Hab, Anama, along the Ontanipet ; in wet and more or less shady places. 
Obs. Our plant is possibly identical with  Léveill?s var. gigas, the 
description of which is so simple and short, so it is rather difficult to refer it 
to it with absolute certainty. In other islands of the Kuriles var. sibirica, 
Hegel, has been collected.
