being nearly a fortnight earlier in flowering. This plant is reż 
markable at first sight by its general compact bushy habit, and by 
its broad flat dark glaucous-green leaflets; not yellowish-green 
nor bordered with red, like the foregoing.

Radix precedenti similis. Caulis bipedalis, glabriusculus. Folia biternata ; foliola pro- 
funde laciniata, valde undulata, interdum tortuosa, angustata, acuta, rugosa, glauca, 
margine rubicunda. Calyx glaber; stigmata acutiuscula; semina rotundata. (Cæ- 
tera ut in var. a.) 
Obtained by Mr. Sabine from the garden of the late Mr. Cie: 
ville, who cultivated it as a new species, but whence it originally 
came he could not learn. We found the same plantin Messrs. Lee 
and Kennedy's nursery, without any name; its history is equally 
ambiguous with the preceding, but it may be supposed to have 
come pads the same quarter. Itis conspicuous by its deeply and 
numerously laciniated leaflets, which are glaucous, very much 
undulated, and sometimes twisted. It comes into flower rather 
earlier than the other two; petals deep crimson, not so dark as 
those of var. a.
