leaflet almost a plicate appearance. The sézpules are very 
large, particularly the lower ones, silky, and serrated. The 
Flowers are subcorymbose, and sometimes so crowded, as 
almost to be capitate. The outer and smaller segments of: 
the calyx are almost equal in size to the inner ones, all 
silky and serrated. Petals yellow, broadly ovate, waved, 
scarcely longer than the calyx. Piuséils numerous: Ger- 
men oval : Style lateral, filiform. Anthers brown, pollen 
and filaments yellow. 
Sent by Dr. Waxuicn to our gardens from Nepal. It 
flourishes well in the open air, and bids fair to be as hardy 
as our Por. anserina. The foliage is, indeed, most beau- 
tiful ; being, at least when dry, almost white with silky 
pubescence : but the flowers are very insignificant, and 
few of them expand at the same time. 
The flowers appear in the latter end of summer and au- 
tumn. Our specimen was taken from the garden of the 
Horticultural Society at Chiswick ; but we believe the plant 
is now not uncommon in the collections of the curious.
