Captain Rae's specimens are smoothish, and there is an old pencil memorandum iden- 

 tifying them with " a form gathered by Drummond in 1843, Chipx^ewa," the specimens of 

 which I had probably seen in the Edinburgh Herbarium. 



Sir Wm. Hooker observes that the ripe fruit is highly curious ; the numerous long 

 slender styles, all bent downwards, have the appearance of a very coarse and shaggy head 

 of hair ; under the microscope, the points are seen to be rolled u.p or uncinate in the dry 

 state, only slightly curved when moist. 



10. — Anemone cylindrica, A. Gray, 



Leaves ternately divided into cuneate segments, cut and toothed. Peduncles several, 

 very long and naked above, all arising from an involucre of stalked ternately divided 

 leaves. Sepals 5, obtuse, greenish white. Carpels in a long c/jlindrical head. Plant 1 or 2 

 feet high, shorter, more silky in foliage than the next, with more slender wiry stems and 

 more finely divided leaves, the inflorescence less branched, with fewer involucels. Prof. 

 Gray, the author of this species, observes that it often flowers after the manner of A. 

 Virginiana, developing involucels and secondary peduncles, and that the leaves of the 

 involucre are twice or thrice as many as the flower stalks.
