_ 80 Ay. NEMORÒsA (Lin. spe. 762.) leaves ternate; segments 
trifid, deeply-toothed, lanceolate acute; leaves of involucrum 
stalked ; sepals 6, elliptical. 2. H. Native throughout Europe 
in groves, hedges, hills, bushy and shady places. North America, 
from Canada to Carolina. Fl. dan. t. 549; Smith eng. bot. 353 ; 
Schkuhr. handb. t. 150. Colour of flower commonly white, some- 
times red, lilac, purple or blue, never yellow. Flowers single or 
double. Leaves of involucrum in threes or fives, with parted 
segments. In fine clear weather the blossoms are expanded and 
face the sun; but in the evening and wet weather they are closed 
and hang down. This plant is acrid and in some degree poison- 
ous. Goats and sheep eat it; but horses, cows, and swine refuse 
it. It is now disused in medicine ; but Chomel says, that the 
leaves bruised with the flowers, and applied twice a day to the 
head, have, in a little while, healed the Tinea ; and it is also said 
that a blister prepared of these, when recent, serves to remove 
intermittent fevers; but-it should be cautiously used. 
Var, B, quinquefolia (Lin. spe. 769.) leaves somewhat 5-parted. 
Native in North America, from Canada to the south of Lake 
Winepeg and elsewhere, and Siberia. Hardly differing from the 
European plant, unless that the lateral lobes of the leaves of this 
plant are often profoundly 2-parted; but this is also sometimes 
observed in European plants. 
Var. y, flore cærùleo is evidently different from An. Apennina 
by its root being elongated not tuberous ; sepals 6, elliptical not 
12-15, linear, oblong.
