230 American Species of the Genus Anemone. 



n D Brazilian species. 



22. Anemone Sellowii, Fritz. 



A. Sellowii, Fritz., Liniisea, xv, 667 (1841). 



"Foliis radicalibus ternatis, foliolis breviter petiolatis late ovatis supra 

 argute-serratis, lateralibus profundissime bijjartitis, intermedio trifido, invo- 

 lucralibus sessilibus minutis inciso-serratis, caule bifloro, sepalis subnoveuis 

 ovato-obloiigis, carpidiis glabris, stylo teuui longo apice iuvoluto." 



"Habitat in Brasilia, Sellow, Coll. PI. Bras., 891." 

 All I know of this plant is drawn from Pritzel's original descrip- 

 tion, and that of Eichler in Martius Flora Brasiliensis, xiii, part i, 

 153, t. 34, where the specimen contained in the Berlin Herbarium 

 is beautifully figured. As suggested by Eichler, the species is allied 

 to A. Aritucensis, Poepp., but the engraving shows that it is clearly 

 distinct. 



23. Anemone Cilazioviana, Urban. 

 A. Glazioviana, Urban., Linnaea, xliii, 255 (1880-1882). 



"Fetiob"s 15—22 cm. longis, inferne parce, superne sicut lamina magis hir- 

 tulo-pilosis, foliis ternatim sectis, foliolis 0.7-3 cm. longe petiolulatis late 

 rhornbeis, lateralibus usque ^| longitudinis 2-partitis, intermedio ad ^-^ 

 partem trifido, lobis obovato rhombeis crenatis crenis apiculatis ; pedunculo 

 1-2 floro, involucro parvulo ; sepalis circa 10 glabris 3 cm. longis oblongo- 

 lanceolatis, ad basin unguiculario-angustatis ; staminibus partem 4 tam sepa- 

 lorum sequantibus, antheris connective paullulum producto apiculatis ; car- 

 pidiis glabris, stylis mediocribus apice revolutis.

 foliola subobconico-disposita. — Fedunculi pedales breviter pilosi ; involucrum 

 1.5 cm. longum, 5 cm. a flore insertum, sessile trifoliolatum, foliolis liberis, 

 intermedio ad | longitudinis triiobo, cseteris oblongis inciso-dentatis ; pedun- 

 culus secundarius obvius, sed nondum evolutus ; involucellum 2 foliolatum 

 basale cum involucro combinatum. — Flos sub antheri 6 cm. diametro ; sepala 

 exteriora 8—9 mm., interiora 6-7 mm. lata, nervis e basi prodeuntil>us 5-7 

 superne ramosis. — Stamina 5-6 mm. longa. — Carpidia ultra 20, gynophori pro- 

 minentiis innixa ; ovaria ovato-oblonga in stylos iis sequilongos v. paullo 

 longiores flexuosos tenues, apice stigmatoso circinnatim revolutos attenuata."
