Radix squamata, fibras numerosas emittens, rudimentis fo- 

 liorum emarcidorum superne instructa. Cauks filifor- 

 mes, graciles, 4 — 5-pollicares, ramosi, adscendentes, 

 foliosi, villis viscidis leviter instructi. Folia radicalia 

 longe petiolata reniformia, lobato-palmata : lobis ovatis 

 acutis, utrinque hirsuta ; caulina digitata, inferiora pe- 

 tiolata, superiora sessilia. Petioli graciles, omnes villosL 

 Pedicelli remoti, elongati, capillares, unirlori, caiycesque 

 leviter pubescentes. Lacinia calycince ovatae, obtusius- 

 culae. Petala obovata, alba, triplinervia : nervis recti- 

 usculis, simplicibus. 



The above description was taken from specimens in the Pal- 

 lasian Herbarium, in the possession of A. B. Lambert, Esq. 

 Sternb. t. 25. corresponds exactly with these specimens ; but the 

 leaves of the latter are more deeply lobed than represented in 

 the figure. The S. grandijlora Sternb. t. 12. f. 4., which is the 

 granulata of Steven, and the S. cymbalaria of Marschall's Flora 

 T arnica, I am inclined to think belongs also to this plant ; but 

 having never seen specimens of it, I am unable to decide. The 

 roots of this section, whether scaly or fibrous, scarcely aiford any 

 specific character, as they have all a tendency to become scaly.
