observations have led me to consider permanent, marks. S, ajji- 

 nis is a much smaller and slenderer plant, and of a more lively 

 green colour. Segments of the leaves narrow, linear. Stems 

 much slenderer and shorter, few-flowered. Lacinia of the calvx 

 linear, terminated with a long point. Petals oblong, with their 

 margins inflected. This curious conformation of the petals is of 

 itself an important differential mark ; for in this respect it stands 

 isolated among the numerous species which surround it, as Rom 

 involute does among; those of its tribe. 



77. S. pentadactyla, surculis erectis brevibus, foliis longr-potio- 

 latis glabris quinquepartitis: segmentis linearibus obtusia 

 subtus costatis, laciniis ealycinis lanceolatis acutis. Deta- 

 ils obovatis : nervis ramosis.

This species is very nearly related, on the one hand, to my 



S.obtusifida, and on the other to S.evarata; but having only seen
