Introduced so long ago as the year 1G58, when it was 

 cultivated in tlie Botanic Garden at Oxford ; but it seems 

 to have been lost latterly. The specimen from which our 

 drawing was taken was obligingly communicated by Mr. 

 William Young, Nurseryman, Milford, near Godalming, 

 along with several other rare plants found in TenerifFe and 

 the neighbouring islands by P. B. Webb, Esq. 



Requires the protection of a frame in winter, but grows 

 freely in the open air in the summer : the specimen we 

 examined flowered in the Greenhouse in April last. The 

 root is perennial. It is increased either by seeds or division 

 of its roots. 



Ranunculus cortusaefolius and R. grandifolius of the 

 Rev. Mr. Lowe {Primit'ue Flora; et Faiince AladcrcE, p. 38) 

 are both distinguished by their great branching panicles.
