Saaifraga umbrosa is readily distinguished from the two pre- 

 ceding species by its tiat, dilatated, and much shorter petioles ; 

 by the leaves never being cordate at the base ; and lastly, by the 

 serratures being more distinctly cartilaginous at their margins. 

 The variety /3. 1 believe to be Linnrcus's S. punctata : it differs 

 from a. by the greater length of its petioles, and by the older 

 leaves being loose, and always erect, never confert and spreading 

 on the ground as in var. a ; the var. y. is very near akin to /3, only 

 differing in its leaves being oblong-ovate. They both likewise 

 differ from a. by the large and sharp serratures of their leaves. 

 The synonyms of Morison and Miller, quoted by Linnaeus, evi- 

 dently belong to hirsuta. The Count de Sternberg, in his excel- 

 lent monograph of the genus, has described for S. punctata the 

 Siberian S. Geu?n, which differs in no respect from the European 

 one, as I have examined excellent specimens of it in the Pallasian 

 Herbarium in the possession of A. B. Lambert, Esq. These spe- 

 cimens agree exactly with Gmelin's figure quoted by him.
