rescued from oblivion by the French, and richly deserves a place in all gardcujs of hardy flowers. The stems 
^ , bear ^ 
yellow flowers with a crimson di^k. " Of all the 
narrow and divided -leaved ppccies of Coreopsis," sa}** 
Sir William Hooker, " this has unqucfotlonably the 
narrowest foliage, and which, if examhied carefully, 
exhibits the most fleshy texture, the underside semi- 
terete and presenting no appearance of a nrrve or 
costa, which in^lcod is only indicated on the upj>er 
side by the presence of a furrow. Its ncari'fit ally 
is perhaps C. icntiifoUa ; but there, besides the dif- 
ference in foliage, the disk is described as being of 
the same colour as the ray, and the floj-etH of the ray 
much narrower/'

sMes. A liaiKlsome prostrate perennial, 
with fine yellow flowers. Native of the 
Himalaya. Belongs to RoseworJs, luiro- 
luced at Kew. 
A well-marked, hardy, Himalayan species of Po- 
tentilla, with a compact habit and large yellow 
flowers, produced abundantly during the summer 
months. Jacquemont detected it in fissures of 
rocks in Kanaor, near Rogui, elev. 9000 feet, in 
about lat. 32% long. E. 78^% whore it was likewise 
found by Capt. Henry Strachey ; thence it appears 
to extend eastward through Nepal to Sikkim- 
Himalaya, where it was found by Dr. Hooker in 
woods at an elevation of from 12-13,000 feet above 
the level of the sea. Its nearest aflinity is with 
P, eriocarjta Wall. ; but there the stem is scarcely 
leafy, and the leaflets are longer and much more 
divided. From a woody perennial root, many 
closely-placed stems diverge : they are ascending, 
SIX inches to a foot long, frequently purple, leafy, 
clothed with soft silky hairs, as is, more or less, 
every part of the plant Leaves on longish petioles 
(which have two large, ovate usually entire stipules
