Planta caespitosa, herbacea, magnitudine pnrcedentis at multo 

 mollior et laxior, nunquam surculosa. Caules erecti, pal- 

 mares, flexiliores, villis articulatis suj>pediti, virides. 

 Folia radicalia cucullata, reniformia, .5-partito-palinata, 

 longe petiolata ; caulina trifida sessilia : segmentd radica- 

 lium cuneato-oblonga, tririda : lobis tridentatis : dentibus 

 acutis, aristatis ; caulinorum lanceolata, indivisa, mucro- 

 nata. Petioli semiteretes longissimi, lenti, erecti, supra 

 canaliculati, undique villis longis, articulatis, viscidis 

 dense tecti. Panicula laxa, multiflora. Bractea. pal- 

 mate. Flores majores, campanulati, pulehri, candidi. 

 Calyces cum pedunculis villis viscidis instrueti : laciniac 

 lineares, acutae, intus concavae. Petala spathulata, tri- 

 plinervia : nervis simplicibus, rectis. Stamina insequalia ; 

 filament a viridia ; anthera luteae. Styli elongati, stami- 

 nibus subaequales. 



This is a very distinct and well-marked species, readily distin- 

 guished from the preceding by its loose, herbaceous habit, 

 slightly covered with long villous hairs ; leaves much more 

 deeply divided ; lobes acute ; stem limber, green, villous. Pa- 

 nicles loose, many-flowered ; lacinia of the calyx acute ; petals 

 broader, spathulate ; limb spreading. Marschall von Bieberstein 

 in his Supplement to the Flora Taurico-Caucasica mentions the 

 petals as being unequal, and slightly three-toothed at the apex ; 

 but these marks are by no means constant ; for I have never ob- 

 served them either in cultivated or in dried specimens.
