Cult. Mostly hardy perennial herbaceous free growing plants, 
well adapted for borders, easily increased by dividing at the 
root, The Th. anemonoides thrives best in peat soil. Those 
natives of warm climates require protection during winter. The 
Species belonging to the two last divisions of the last section 
are the most ornamental. l

No. 4. This is a very distinct species with the flowers rising 
before the leaves; but nevertheless it is found about Barnaoul 
flowering in the month of May, with the almost dried leaves of 
the preceding year. Flower in the involucre almost sessile. 
Fruit in the involucre on avery long peduncle. There are evi- 
dently several varieties of this plant, or perhaps distinct species, 
one with the flower composed of 6 or 8 sepals. The Siberian 
plant has yellow flowers; the Swiss and German have purplish 
flowers ; the Polish one has them white.
