are several varieties, which differ in height and size of leaves, 
but there are hardly any limits between these varieties. 
Var. B, glaúca (D.C. prod. 4. p. 121.) plant of a canescent 
glaucous hue: radical leaves pinnate ; leaflets roundish-ovate, 
somewhat 3-lobed, toothed, pubescent on both surfaces, the 3 
or 4 superior lobes linear ; petals and fruit clothed with adpressed 
villi. %. H. Native of Sicily, on the Nebrodes. Tràgium 
glaúcum, Presl, del. prag. p. 125. Flowers white. Allied to 
P. Cúmbræ, but the leaflets are all 3-lobed, and the terminal 
one deeply so. 
Var. Y, laciniàta (D. C. 1. c.) leaflets of all the leaves dis- 
sected into narrow linear segments. 2%. H. Native of Tauria. 
P. Tragium var. Bieb. suppl. p. 250. P. petree'a, Beaupre,

11 P. perzcri'na (Lin. mant. p. 357.) plant pubescent ; 
radical leaves pinnate; leaflets ovate-cordate, serrated: terminal 
one usually 3-lobed; cauline leaves narrow, wedge-formed, 
Jagged; fruit hispid. &.H. Native from the south of France

Tragium Taúricum, Ledeb.—Barr. icon. 1184.—Column. ecphr. 
l. t.109. Flowers white. The herb varies in smoothness and 
hairiness; in the first state it is P. peregrinum, D. C. fi. fr. 
Suppl. p. 502.: in the second it is P. hispida, Lois. ex. D. C. 
he. The first leaves are simple, the second ternate, but the 
Succeeding ones are pinnate, also the lower stem ones ; but the 
Upper stem leaves are variously divided into lanceolate segments. 
The umbels are drooping before the expansion of the flowers. 
The seeds have no smell, and when first chewed have scarcely 
any taste, but in a short time are very acrimonious, and excite 
4 great heat in the fauces.

© petals being villous not glabrous.

4 P. Cv'mrREÆ (Buch. ubers. can. p. 29. and beschreib. d. 
293 
can. ins. p. 152.) the whole plant is hoary from short down ; 
radical leaves pinnate; leaflets 5-7, ovate, deeply serrated, ter- 
minal one usually 3-lobed: stem nearly leafless, branched ; 
petals villous. Y.G. Native of Teneriffe, on the highest 
mountains. Tragium incinum, Chois. ined. Said to be allied 
to P. villésa, but differs in being more hoary, and in the leaves 
being simply pinnate, not doubly pinnate. Root woody, throw- 
ing out many stems at the neck. 
Cumbre Burnet-saxifrage. PI. 1 foot. 
15 P. psgvu'po-Tra‘arum (D. C. prod. 4. p. 122.) plant glau- 
cous and canescent; radical leaves pinnate; leaflets roundish- 
ovate, somewhat 3-lobed, deeply toothed, velvety-canescent on 
both surfaces : upper ones trifid: lower ones undivided, linear ; 
petals rather villous on the outside; fruit very hairy. 24. H. 
Native of Persia, in dry exposed stony places about Seidkhodzi. 
This is an intermediate plant between P. tragium and P. aromé- 
ticum. The fruit is larger than in either, and the hairs on the 
plant are soft and spreading, not as in P. tragium, adpressed. 
Petals rather villous on the outside, not as in P. aromatic very 
hairy.

pound; leaflets cut: lobes lanceolate, mucronately acuminated ; 
sheaths of upper cauline leaves leafless ; petals yellow, canes- 
cent on the back, as well as on the germs. %. H. Native of 
Caucasus, in dry stony places on the mountains of Talusch, near 
Swant, at the elevation of about 3000 feet.

17 P. aroma’tica (Bieb. fl. taur. 1. p. 241. suppl. 251.) plant 
clothed with hoary pubescence ; leaves pinnate; leaflets of the 
lower leaves all cuneiform, deeply serrated at the apex, lined; 
petals and fruit tomentose. ¢.H. Native of Iberia and Eastern 
Caucasus, on the edges of woods, and the sides of torrents.

branous, glabrous above, but puberulous along the nerves be- 
neath; involucrum wanting; involucels 3-leaved; rays of um- 
bels and umbellules 15-20 in number, and are as well as the

they were pinnate, from the 2 lateral leaflets being undivided, 
and the middle one ternate. Teeth of lower leaves rounded 
and mucronate; of the superior leaves acute. The immature 
fruit has only been seen.
