24 Mr. Edgeworth on some unpublished Species of 



descriptions, by Dr. Wallich in his ' Catalogue,' or by Dr. Royle in his ' Illus- 

 trations.' 



I have very unwillingly been obliged to add some more genera to the already 

 unwieldy Umbelli/erce ; but it was impossible to include these species under 

 existing genera, as now defined. It is remarkable that already in this family, 

 out of 65 Indian species described in DeCandolle's 'Prodromus,' and 15 more 

 by Dr. Lindley in Royle's ' Illustrations,' no less than 8 new genera have 

 been formed out of solely Himalayan species ; and I have no doubt that very 

 many new species and genera are still to be found in these mountains. 



Ord. Ranunculace^. 



1. Clematis (Flammula) amplexicaulis ; floribus paniculatis, sepalis obtusis 



revolutis, foliis ternatisectis, petiolis longis amplexicaulibus, foliolis ovatis 

 acuminatis. 

 Hab. Himala, in sylvis ad alt. ped. 7000-9000. Dhanaulti. Floret Aug. et Sept. 



Scandens, glaberrima. Folia tematisecta; petiolo longo (4-6 poUicari) basi dilatato am- 

 plexicauli ; foliolis distantibus longe petiolulatis, glabris, ovatis, oblique cordatis, acu- 

 minatis, integris, vel varie lobatis, crenato-serratis, serraturis mucronatis, 5-6 pollic. 

 longis, 2^-3 latis. Paniculae foliacese dichotomae, cum pedunculo intra ramos soli- 

 tario subtrichotomae. Pedunculi longi ; bracteis amplexicaulibus acuminatis gradatim 

 minoribus varie lobatis, supremis sessilibus lanceolatis 3-dentatis. Flores nutantes; 

 sepalis erectis apice revolutis oblongis obtusis subemarginatis, utrinque velutinis, 10-12 

 lineas longis. Stamina villosa. Achenia hirsuta, cauda basi longe, supra gradatim 

 minus barbato-plumosa, apice nudo. 



Affinis videtur C. connata, Wall, at satis difFert forma foliorum florumque. 



2. Clematis (Flammula) gracilis ; floribus ternis longfe pedunculatis, sepalis 



erectis apice revolutis extiis velutinis intiis glabris, foliis ternatisectis 

 inembranaceis. 

 Hab. Himala, in sylvis. Shioli, alt. ped. 7000-8000. 



Scandens, glabriuscula. Folia tematisecta subglabra membranacea; foliolis petiolulatis 



subcordato-ovatis acutis, dentatis, serraturis mucronatis, 3-4 poll. long. 2 poll, latis. 



Pedunculi longi graciles 3-flori ; bracteis lineari-lanceolatls acutis. Flores nutantes ; 



sepalis erectis apice revolutis obtusis extiis velutinis. Stamina basi glabra, supra 



pilosa. Achenia tomentosa, cauda basi plumosa, apice nudo. 

 A C. Mauritiand differt sepalis erectis nee patentibus, et foliis tenuioribus.
