Stem 4-6 in. high. Radical leaves reniform, palmately 4-6-lobod ; uppet leaves 

 3-1-fid passing into bracts. Calyx-tube in the ripe fruit short, campanulate or fun- 

 lel-shaped ; lobes oyate-linear, approximate, with acute sinuses. — Turczanimow judi- 

 ciously remarks ^(i^Z. jBaiAraZ-DaAwr. i. 454) that the only reason for not treating' S. 

 cemna as a var. of 8, sibirtca is its much wider geographical range. The very im- 

 perfect specimens collected by Strachey and Winterbottom in Kumaon and referred 

 to & orientalis, Jacquem., by H. f. & T. doubtfully in Joiirn. Linn. Soc, ii. 63 are'cer- 

 tainly not S, orie^italis nor any species of the section Cymbalaria; they have bulbils 

 in the upper axils and belong perhaps to 8, ceriiua, P. pauciflora, Sternb.* - 



Sect. II. Kirculus. Sepals nearly free, in fruit patent or reflexed. Pe- 



^aw yellow, often with 2-4 spots near their base. Ste^m erect leafy. Leaves
