the extremity : the terminal pinna is remarkably large, re- 
niformi-cordate, slightly hairy, especially on the nerves, the 
margin cut into many lobes, and serrated. The leaves of 
the stem scarcely any, except at the branching of the pa- 
nicle, and there shay may be considered as bracteas, cordate, 
sessile, inciso-laciniate. Flowers terminal, solitary upon 
each ramification or peduncle. Calyx hairy, the tubular 
part larger and more distinct than in any other of this 
family, almost urceolate, as in Rosa. Outer segments of 
the calyx very small. Petals bright yellow, showy, 
roundish, waved. Stamen yellow. Receptacle of the pistils 
elongated. Germen oblong, hairy: Styles scarcely longer 
than the calyx, hairy below, straight : Stigma obtuse. 
I have native specimens of this rare species of Sreversia 
from Dr. Nurratt and Dr. Boorr, gathered by those gen- 
tlemen in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and find 
them exactly to correspond with the subject here figured, 
and which was brought from the same country, and proba- 
bly from the same mountains, to Mr. Cunninenam, near 
Edinburgh, in whose collection it flowered m June of this 
year, 1828. 7 
It comes very near the Sreversia rotundifolia of Cuamisso 
and Scuiecurenpat in the second vol. of the Linnea, p. 4, 
a native of Kamtschatka, and also of the N. W. coast of 
America, whence I have specimens from Mr. Menzies, 
and which is identical with the Geum radiatum of Micuaux 
and Pursu ; and is distinguished from S. Peckii, by its 
more deeply cordate, radical leaves, whose lobes almost 
meet at the base, and the much larger cauline ones.
