Calyz of five, ovato-lanceolate, very hairy, herbaceous sepals, pale 
and scariose at the margin. Petals five, large, broadly obovate, 
very glossy yellow. Stamens very numerous. Head of pistils 
short, oval. Ovary round-ovate, compressed, laterally hairy, 
tapering into a recurved style scarcely its own length. Head of 
fruit similar, but larger. W. J. H. 
Cuur. This plant, being of neat habit and flowering freely in 
a pot, is well suited for being associated with general collections 
of the smaller alpine plants, which are usually kept in pots for the 
convenience of removing the more tender species to the protection 
of a frame during the winter and early spring months. When 
planted in the open border, it should be protected by a hand-glass, 
additional covering being provided during severe frosts. It is 
increased by division of the roots, which should be done in 
autumn. J. 8.
