florl. Flores desunt. Achenia longe stipitata, gibbosa, nervosa, membranaceo-alata, 

 ala superiore duplo majore ; stylo persistente, stigmate mediocriter dilatato, margini- 

 bus inflexis subfusiformi. Semen ellipticum glabrum. 

 Species* distinctissima, acheniis membranaceo-alatis. 



9. Thalictrum pedunculatum ; foliis 3-4-ternatisectis ; segmentis petiolatis 



rotundatis 3-lobis : lobis 3-lobulatis, sepalis 4-5 petaloideis, acheniis 10- 

 1 1 apice uncinatis. 



Hub. Himala, ad alt. ped. 7000-8000 in nemoribus. Simla. Floret Aprili. 



Herba bipedalis. Folia 3-4-teraatisecta ; vagina petioli membranacea Integra ; foliolis graci- 

 liter petiolatis rotundatis trilobis, basi cuneatis, obtusis, cordatisve, lobis 2-3-lobulati8. 

 Pedunculi 2-3 ex axilla folii superioris depauperati orti. Sepala petaloidea, 4-5, alba, 

 rotundato-ovata, obtusa. Stamina sepalis breviora, filamentis subdilatatis ; antheris 

 muticis. Ovaria gibba striata, 10-12 ; stylo longo uncinato stigmate brevi subcapitato, 

 nee dilatato. Achenia eUiptica compressa breviter stipitata utrinque attenuata, nervis 

 prominentibus simplicibus furcatis vel anastomosantibus striata, stylo longe incurvo 

 uncinata. 



Proxima videtur T. orieniali (Ann. Sciences Nat. xvi. p. 349), at differt carpellis longioribus 

 pluribusque, nee tantum 3-4, foliolisque magis lobatis. 



T. radiato etiam accedit stylis uncinatis foliisque triternatis. 



10. Anemone (Homalocarpus) scaposa ; foliis long^ petiolatis cordato-palma- 



tis quinquefidis ; lobis 3-6 lobatis: lobulis integris 2-3-ci'enatisve vil- 

 losis, involucralibus tribus v. quatuor trifidis ; lobis oblongis integris 

 dentatisve, pedicellis 5-6 unifloris involucro mult5 brevioribus, sepalis 5 

 ovatis exttis puberulis albis, acheniis pilosis, scapo foliis longiore. 



Hab. Himala, in pascuis elatis, alt. ped. 10,000-12,000. Chur. Floret Junio. 



Differt ab A. polyanthi (eadem ac A. longiscapa, Wall.) acheniis pilosis nee glabris, et ab A. 

 Baikalensi foliis 5-fidis nee 3-partitis; valde affinis A. villosee, Roylef. 



* The description of this plant by Mr. Don in Dr. Royle's 'Illustrations' is so inaccurate, that I 

 believed this to be a distinct species, till I saw the specimens in Dr. Royle's herbarium and in that of 

 the Linnean Society. I cannot but imagine that Mr. Don must have accidentally transferred the de- 

 scription of some other specimen to this name and reference. 



t Dr. Lindley has described a species much resembling this plant in the ' Botanical Register,' 1844, 

 t. 65, under the name of A. obtusiloba, Don, as identical with A. Govaniana, Wall. Cat. 4688. But it 

 is totally diiFerent from the authentic specimens of that plant in Mr. Bentham's herbarium, and from 

 the description in Don's ' Prodromus,' p. 194; that species having but one flower in the involucre,
