After careful examination, in the Kew Herbarium, of 

 upwards of a hundred specimens of the five published 

 species of Callianthemum, from nearly fifty localities, pro-

 distinct are, the large flowered, broad leaved C. anemo- 

 noides, with narrow petals on the one hand, and on the 

 other the G. coriandrifulium, with small flowers, finely
