Cult. The plant loves a light dry soil, and a warm sheltered 
situation. It propagates very fast by its creeping roots; so 
that when once established in a garden, it will multiply fast 
enough.

ments at length free; placentas adnate to the dissepiment.— 
Humble herbs, generally creeping or procumbent. Radical 
leaves numerous, petiolate, coarsely toothed or lobed: those of

scapes, naked, terminal, unilateral. Flowers alternate, pedicel- 
late. Bracteas none, or 1-2 on a pedicel.

Cult. 'l'he seeds of annual species require to be reared on a 
gentle hot-bed ; and when the plants are of sufficient size, but 
not before the end of May, they should be planted out m2 
warm sheltered situation in the open ground. M. surculósus, 
being perennial, will require to be kept in the greenhouse during 
winter.

herbs. Leaves opposite: lower ones submersed, deeply many- 
parted, as in Ztanánculus aquátilis, with capillaceously multifid 
segments ; emersed leaves entire, toothed or cut, often tripartite,
