bottoms of the Altaian mountains, frequent; as near Sogra, 
Loktewsk, Smejow, and elsewhere. Root fusiform. 
umbels 15-30, angular, roughish at the angles. Umbellules with 
20-30 flowers. Mericarps with 5 prominent ribs. Stylopodium 
pulvinate. It differs from S. colordtum, in the leaflets of the 
leaves not being roughish on the margins, in the rays of the um- 
bel not being pubescent, and in the leaves of the involucel. 
_ Var, B simplex; stem simple; leaves bipinnate : leaflets 2-3 
inches long, very narrow.

35 S. FRa'cILE (Gouan. ill. p. 15.) stem unknown ; leaves 
tripinnate ; leaflets ternate, brittle, articulated : segments linear ; 
sheaths large, 2-lobed at the apex ; involucra none ; umbels 12- 
rayed ; involucels of 7-9 leaves, which are 3 times shorter than 
the umbellules. ¢.H. Native country unknown, as well as 
the flowers and fruit. Gouan cites under this plant the figures 
in J. Bauh. hist. 3. p. 18. f. 2. Clus. hist. 2. p. 196. f. 1. 
Tabern. icon. t. 97. f. 2. but these figures are very different 
from each other, and therefore the plant is very doubtful. 
Brittle Meadow-saxifrage. PI. 14 foot. 
Cult. The plants of this genus are of easy culture; they re- 
quire sandy or chalky soil, and are easily increased by seeds. 
Those species marked perennial prove seldom more than bien- 
nial when cultivated in gardens.

usually composed of many leaves. Leaves pinnate or bipinnate :
