The Anemone alpina has generally been mistaken in our 
Nurseries for Anemone patens, under which name we have 
several 4imes received at. ero 
Our drawing was taken from a plant communicated in May 
1816, by Messrs. Wuiriey, Brame, and Mixyg, in which the 
petals were increased to nine; the natural number being only 
six, in two series, the three external ones very hairy and 
tinged with purple on the outside, the three internal ones 
smooth, white, and undulated. The flower is spreading, and 
grows erect upon a peduncle longer than the involucrum. 
We received two fine specimens of the same plant this last 
spring from Mr. James A. Honrer, Nursery and Seedsman, 
out of his very extensive collection near Birmingham. In 
these the number of the peials was, as natural, six, besides a 
small accessary petal added to the inner series, which was the 
same in both flowers. 
A hardy perennial. Native of Switzerland and Austria. 
; a in me Oxtord — in 1658.
