ever it differs in the characters given above in our fpecific 

 phrafe. The corolla of pyrcnaica is of a thick, coriaceous, 

 flefhy fubftance, has a patulous margin, with the alternate feg- 

 ments twice as broad as the others and obovate ; characters 

 not to be found in our prefent fubject, the leaves of which 

 are alfo much more numerous, narrower, fharper, and more 

 fparfe. Its fegments are rather lefs acute than thofe of me- 

 Itagris, and its ne&ary is rather nearer the bafe of the fegments 

 than in that, but yet not fo near as in pyrenaica ; all three differ 

 from latifolia, in having green, (tenderer, and more patent 

 ftigmas. As LinNjEUS applied his fpecific title to this plant, 

 under the idea of its being a variety of the one we have be- 

 fore publifhed under that name, and which is really of Py- 

 renean origin, we have thought better to leave that appellation 

 with it (efpecially as it was alfo included by Linnaeus in his 

 fpecies) and adopt another for the prefent plant. 



We are ignorant of its real habitat, poffibly a mere variety 

 of Mcleagris. Blooms fomewhat later than that or pyrenaica; 

 quite fcentlefs. 



Our drawing was made from Mr. Williams's collection at 

 Turnham-Green. Cultivated here in the time of Miller. 



Probably Frith, l aria hi f panic a umbellifera of Bauhin, 

 Parkinson and Swertius, is really a variety of the pyrgr 

 naica ,- but this we have not yet met with. G.
