11 apice uncinatis. 
Hab. Himala, ad alt. ped. 7000-8000 in nemoribus. Simla. Floret Aprili. 
Herba bipedalis. Folia 3-4-ternatisecta ; vagina petioli membranaceá integrá ; foliolis graci- 
liter petiolatis rotundatis trilobis, basi cuneatis, obtusis, cordatisve, lobis 2-3-lobulatis. 
Pedunculi 2-3 ex axilla folii superioris depauperati orti. Sepala petaloidea, 4-5, alba,

Proxima videtur T. orientali (Ann. Sciences Nat. xvi. p. 349), at differt carpellis longioribus 
pluribusque, nec tantùm 3-4, foliolisque magis lobatis. | 
T. radiato etiam accedit stylis uncinatis foliisque triternatis. 
10. ANEMONE (Homalocarpus) scaposa; foliis longè petiolatis cordato-palma-

Hab. Himala, in pascuis elatis, alt. ped. 10,000-12,000. Chir. Floret Junio. 
Differt ab A. polyanthi (eadem ac A. longiscapa, Wall.) acheniis pilosis nec glabris, et ab A. 
Baikalensi foliis 5-fidis nec 3-partitis; valdé affinis A. villose, Roylet. 
* The description of this plant by Mr. Don in Dr. Royle's ‘Illustrations’ is so inaccurate, that I 
believed this to be a distinct species, till I saw the specimens in Dr. Royle's herbarium and in that of 
the Linnean Society. I cannot but imagine that Mr. Don must have accidentally transferred the de- 
scription of some other specimen to this name and reference. 
t Dr. Lindley has described a species much resembling this plant in the * Botanical Register,' 1844, 
t. 65, under the name of A. obtusiloba, Don, as identical with A. Govaniana, Wall. Cat. 4688. But it 
is totally different from the authentic specimens of that plant in Mr. Bentham's herbarium, and from 
the description in Don's * Prodromus," p. 194 ; that species having but one flower in the involucre,
