 la, albida , simplex, dcscendens, paucis Gbrillis capillaribus instructa ; folia in 

 caulc flexuoso satis dissita, tandem radicalia conferta, ima oblonga, eaque inte- 

 gra in brevem petiolum cuneato-contracta, superiora sensim laliora. profundius- 

 que divisa, i. c. grosse dentata. laciniata, denique media et superiora pinnalim- 

 partita, ambitu pierumque ovata, 1-2 pollicaria, pctiolo saepe pollicem longo dc- 

 currenle (quo caulis acutangulus) insidentia, glabriuscula, margine crispato tamen 

 uli costa petiolus caulisque pilis brevibus glandula tcrminatis ciliata; partitioncs 

 foliorum patentissimae, suboppositae, ovatae vel oblongae, acuminatae, acute denla-
