On the borders of shady rivulets, rather rare.

Roots fibrous, creeping. Stems angular, decumbent, branched at 

 the summit only. Leaves kidney-shaped, with broad abrupt 

 notches, rough on both sides with scattered, tubular, jointed 

 hairs ; the under side pale and polished j radical ones on long 

 stalks ; those on the stem few and distant ; the rest crowded 

 about the top, under the corymbose, almost sessile, deep-yellow 

 Jlowers, of which the central, or earliest one, is mostly 5 -cleft, 

 and rather the largest, though this is denied by some botanists 

 on the continent to be ever the case. See Willdenow.

 Paler than the preceding ; the herb about the same size, but the 



leaves are all opposite, smaller, and less abruptly notched. Fl. 



also smaller, and lemon-coloured, all frequently 4 -cleft, and oc- 



tandrous ; but by no means invariably, or generally, destitute 



of a 5 -cleft, terminal, or central, one. See Willdenow.
