Tliirs varies much in the alpine parts of the continent; but with us is

 less hairy. I.etifiets obtuse. Flowers at the end of weak leafy 

 branches, 2 or 3 together on long footstaUns, vellow.

Larger in all its parts than P. t:tnia, and, as Mr. Nestler observes, in 

 his excellent Monograph of the genus, very nearly indeed allied to 

 it. It differs, he says, in the stem and petioles being of a reddish 

 colour, and the whole plant of a more slender habit ; the radical 

 Iravi's are upon very long footstalks, and the ^/l on- crs, when past 

 perfection, become drooping, having pf/a/i- of a golden yellow with 

 a fulvous spot at their base.

 of the stem_ternate, leaflets wedge-shaped their margins with 

 silky iiairs deeply serrated at the extremity, petals obcordate 

 larger that! t!ie cal., stem decumbent. E. B. f.oiM.
