Our plant is about a foot and a half in height with a stem bent in a somewhat zigzag 

 way. Its leaflets are very small, l-\ inch in length, and glandular-pubescent beneath. 

 The pi'esent variety is vei'y much i-arer in Japan than the above, growing mostly in 

 the alpine districts. It is not yet known from Saghalin, Kamtschatka and Eastern Si- 

 beria. 



The species is very widely distributed in Euroj)e, Africa, Asia and Alaska.

 The i^lants which are found throughout northern Japan correspond exactly to the typ- 

 ical specimens from Kamtschatka and Saghalin. Those which wei-e collected by Max- 

 imowicz in southern Japan, and which he considers as a variety of this species, have the 

 leaves somewhat resembling those of Anemone umhrosa, though considerably smaller. 



There are a few specimens in the Gray Herbarium labelled A. umhrosa, which were col- 

 lected by W. P. Blake in " N. Japan." A similar specimen was collected in the vicinity 

 of Sapporo. They have certainly a striking resemblance to the Ussuri specimen of A. 

 umhrosa in the shape and proportion of the leaves and flowers, and in the nature of the
