Gillenia stipulacea has a root, according to Dr. ‘Campbell's 
«sketch, corroborated by Mr. Nuttall’s” description of it, precisely 
similar to the root of G. trifoliata represented in table 5, fig. 2; 
and what has been said of the root of that plant in the prevailing 
article, may be applied to this one. It is of course -perennial. Mr. 
Nuttall informs me that the whole plant is much taller, and more 
_ bushy than G. trifoliata; and sends up a vast number of stems from 
each root. The stems are brownish, branched at the top, and bear — 
the flowers on long slender peduncles, in the form of a lax corym- 
bose panicle. The upper leaves of the stems, and those’ of the. 3 
branches, are ternate, lanceolate, cut-serrate, and nearly. equal, 3 | 
Those approaching the bottom are deeply incised, ai. the segments 
cut-serrate; the lowest leaves are. pinnatifid, and of a 
brown colour. The stipules resemble leaves; are ovate, acumi- i 
nate, deeply : serrate, = =e at the pase. The serrat ures of -
