A anal species. Leaves on short petioles, 1-11 inches long, } inch broad, mostly 
lobed, or pinnatifid, sometimes entire ; varying in amount of pubescence. Flower 
stalks 3-4 inches high ; umbels 8-10-flowered, Allied to P. hirsutwm, but with 
acuminate petals and not so rigidly hispid. 
28. P. roseum (Ait. Kew. Ed. 2. vol. 4, p. 161); leaves on long, pu- 
bescent petioles, sinuato-pinnatifid, obtuse, tomentose, the segments bluntly 
toothed ; scape long, simple ; umbel densely many-flowered, the bracts 
subulate, bearded ; calyx tube tomentose, 3-5 times as long as the lan- 
ceolate segments ; upper petals emarginate, much longer than the lower.

My description is chiefly drawn from Sweet and Andrews, compared with a spe- 
cimen from Forsyth (Hb. Benth.), and another in Hb. Holm. This fine, but little 
known species, is now lost in English gardens. The flowers are very numerous, and 
bright rosy-red. 
29. P. pilosum (Pers, Ench. 2. p. 227) ; leaves on long, hispid petioles, 
pinnate-partite, pinne in 3-4 pair, sub-alternate, deeply bi-trifid or many- 
lobed, softly hairy, the lobes obtuse ; scapes branching, pilose ; umbel 
4-5-flowered, with subulate, setose bracts ; calyx tubes 6-8 times as 
long as the bracts, laxly setulose, as are also the broadly-lanceolate, 
gland-tipped segments, petals narrow. DC. Prod. 1. p. 652. Andr.

Has. In the Stormsvalley, R. Sonderende, Zeyher! No. 2046. (Herb. Hook., 
Sond.). 
Seemingly a good species. The leaves are thin and membranous, and very softly 
hairy, with long, slender hairs. The petals in our specimens seem to have been 
white, with purple streaks. Andrews figures them a lake-red. 
- 80, P. astragalifolium (Pers. Ench, 2. p. 227); stemless or nearly 
so ; leaves on long, setose petioles, pinnati-partite, pinne in many pairs,

stipules subulate; scapes pubescent and villous, branching ; umbels 
_ many-flowered, with villous bracts ; calyx silky, the segments lanceo-
