ae LAWSON: EEVISION OF THE 



Middle Stewiacke, N.S.— &'. G. Campbell. Newport, N.S.— If. H. Bell. Mr. Banistou found 

 this plant common to the westward of Lake Superior, along the frontier line of the 

 United States, in rich alluvial soils. A form, characterized by Hooker as unusually hairy, 

 was found by R. Kino- at Lake of the Woods. (Back's Exped.) In western Europe this 

 species is extremely common, and Regel has it from various collectors in Kamtschatka, etc. 



Of the British American specimens. Sir "William Hooker observes : " Flowers white, 

 varying to purple, as in Europe, but the sepals are more constantly 5, and the leaves, though 

 occcasionally as broad as with us, are usually narrower and disposed to be more com- 

 pound." This remark probably applies rather to the Northwest or Hudson Bay forms 

 than to the Ontario ones. The plant varies much in the division of the foliage, size of 

 parts and other characters. In what may be regarded as the well-developed typical form, 

 the leaves are trifoliate, terminal leaflet shortly petiolulate, rhomboidally lanceolate, 

 incisely lobed and toothed in the upper half, lateral leaflets nearly sessile, very deeply 

 divided into two lobes, the lateral lobe oblicjue, both incisely toothed in the upper part. 

 In specimens from Hudson Bay Territories (McTuvish), and Dean or Salmon River, B. C, (Dr. 

 G. M. Dawson), 24th June, 187*7, the involucral leaves are trifoliate, the leaflets sessile, 

 incisely toothed, not divided nor lobed. Specimens from Bleeker's Woods, near Belleville, 

 Ont., (Macoun), have compact, hairy, involucral leaves, either of five closely sessile rhom- 

 boidal leaflets, or of three such leaflets, with the lateral ones very deeply lobed, all the 

 leaflets incisely toothed, the lobes acute, not acuminate nor spinose, sepals 5, broadly oval- 

 oblong. A form from Oaklands, near Hamilton, May 31, 1859, (Judge Logie), has the 

 radical and involucral leaves of 5 distinct leaflets and corresponds to the A. quimjuefolia, 

 Linn., 1. c. 



In our Canadian plant, the upper part of the petiole appears to be generally more 

 hairy than in European specimens, in which it is mostly nearly glabrous. 



8. — Anemone deltoidea. Hooker. 



Slightly hairy, radical leaves long-petioled, from a filiform rhizome, ternate, leaflets 

 (and the three sessile involucral leaves), broadly oval, subdeltoid, or rhomboid, more or 

 less deeply trifid, acute, with a few incisions at the tips. Scape erect, slender ,8-12 inches, 

 with roughish hairs. Flower solitary (as large as that of A. dichotoma), an inch across. 

 Sepals 5-6, white, oval or obovate, obtuse, spreading, nearly glabrous.
