Cult. All the species are shewy flowering plants well worth the 
cultivator’s care; they thrive best in a light loamy soil. ‘Those 
species belonging to sections Pulsatilla, Preondnthus, Anemonos- 
pérmos, and Omalocárpus, are either increased by dividing the 
plants at the root or by seeds: and those ‘belonging to section 
Anemondnthea are either increased by offsets from the roots or 
by seeds; those of section Pulsatillotdes are greenhouse evergreen 
herbaceous plants, and grow best in an equal mixture of sand, 
loam, and peat, but care must be taken not to let them have too 
much water when in a dormant state. They often produce per- 
fect seeds, by which young plants are readily raised: they will 
also strike root from cuttings, in the same kind of soil, under a 
hand-glass. 
+ Species belonging to section Pulsatilla, which appear to be 
only varieties of An. patens and An. praténsis.
