recently discovered in Scotland by Mr. George Don. — 341 
nonym, which cannot at this season be determined. Mr. George 
Don has favoured me with wild as well as cultivated specimens. 
The stems creep to some extent, throwing out numerous short | 
leafy branches. Some of the leaves are linear and undivided ; | 
others, from a long narrow base, divide suddenly into 3 equal 
oblong lobes, the 2 outermost of which have sometimes a short. 
levered lobe; all are more or less fringed with soft hairs, and 
tipped with a small bristle. Neither the lobed nor the undivided 
leaves seem exclusively appropriated to any particular part of 
the plant, but those on the upper part of the flowering branches 
are always undivided. Such branches are erect, bearing seldom — — 
more than one large white flower, on a remarkable naked stalk, 
usually two inches long, erect and slightly glandular. In one lux- 
uriant cultivated specimen there are five flowers on one branch. 
The germen is inferior. Calyx-teeth ovate. Petals obovate, en- 
tire, with three slender ribs separating a little above the base. 
7. SaxirRAGA platypetala, 
foliis aristatis trifidis quinquefidisve, stolonibus procumbentibus, 
caule subfolioso, petalis obovato-orbiculatis. 
Found on the mountains of Clova in Angusshire. We have 
the same gathered by Mr. D. Turner upon Snowdon. It has 
the habit of S. hypnoides; but the leaves are almost universally 
divided into three, sometimes five, lobes, a few on the upper part 
of the flowering stem only being undivided. The petals moreover 
are very different, being twice as broad, and almost orbicular, . 
with three ribs, of which the central one is often deeply divided, 
while the others sometimes throw off numerous lateral branches 
towards the edge of the petal.
