A IS E M N E palmata. 

 Cyclamen-leaved Anemone. 



Class and Order. — Polyandria Polygynia. 



Syn. Anemone palmata. Bot. Reg. pi. 200. Persoon. Syn. Plan., 



vol. ii., J). 97. 



Root tuberous — leaves radical, cordate, suborbiculate, dentate — stem radical, 

 clothed with a ferruginous hair — flower issuing from an involucrum, 

 sessile, trifid — corolla yellow — petals about twelve, oblong, obtuse — 

 stamens numerous — styles many — germen superior. 



This is a most striking- and ornamental species, and though it is 

 said to have been introduced so far back as the year 1597, is still 

 rare in our gardens. It is difficult to cultivate, perhaps requiring a 

 little stronger soil than Anemonies generally do. WTien its roots 

 have attained a great size, it should be removed or divided, as it is 

 then liable to decay ; few, however, are fortunate enough to cultivate 

 it to such a state of luxuriance. It is perfectly hardy, though mostly 

 treated as a frame plant. The under side of the lower radical leaves 

 is tinged with a bright violet colour, 

 numerous one, and can boast of many ornamental species
