scribed, raised under glass; but said to be reddish in native 
specimens, campanulate, five-cleft, segments rounded, but 
having a minute mucro, and slightly connivent, three-ribbed, 
central rib undivided, those at the sides fainter, and branched. 
Stamens ten, connivent ; filaments glandular, flat, slightly 
dilated below, yellowish above and below, colourless in the 
middle ; anthers orange-brown, bilobular, lobes blunt and 
rounded at the terminations, pores rounded, each with two 
reflexed awns, much longer than itself, and diverging a 
little. Pistil rather longer than the stamens: Germen 
green, globose, scarcely lobed, wrinkled, surrounded by 
brownish glands at its base: Style articulated on the top of 
the germen, suddenly swollen above its base, and gradually 
tapering upwards: Stigma blunt. 
This extremely pretty little plant was introduced from 
Canada, by Mr. Brarr, into the extensive and interesting 
collection of Mr. Cunninenam, at Comely Bank, near Edin- 
burgh, in 1826; and this enterprising cultivator had the 
satisfaction of seeing the plant come into flower in his 
garden in May last; the first time it had been seen in 
Scotland, and after it had been lost in England. 
Pours and Nurraxz confine the American station of this 
plant to the north-west. coast; but this Mr. Buare did not 
visit. It is, therefore, more Aiffused in the northern parts of 
America, and as it is a most abundant plant in the north of 
Europe and Asia, it is extremely probable that it may one 
day in the north of Scotland reward the labour of some 
British botanist : for, unless when it is in flower, it may be 
very easily overlooked. Grauam.
