Pennsylvanian Wind-flower. Fl. My. Ju. Clt. 1766. Pl. 13 ft.

usually bifid. Like An. Pennsylvdnica, but differing in its sta- 
ture, being more slender, with a smooth surface. Perhaps the 
American plant is exactly the same as the Siberian one. Dr. 
Hooker considers this and the preceding identical, but at present 
we consider it most proper to keep them separate.
