England, Scotland? Ireland. Perennial. Spring. 
Rootstock extensively creeping, white, with small tooth-like 
scales, each division producing a single stem, or a leaf with a long 
stalk from the apex. Stem erect, unbranched, 1 to 2 feet high, bare 
of leaves in the lower part. Stem leaves shortly stalked, the lower 
ones, like the radical leaves, having 5 to 7 leaflets, which are 
sessile or shortly stalked, 14 to 23 inches long by 4 to * inch broad, 
remotely and faintly crenate-serrate, or occasionally entire; upper 
leaves with fewer leaflets, those at the top with only one, so that 
they become simple, and are not above 1 inch long, and narrow in 
proportion. Flowers about # inch across, lilac or almost white, 
turning rose-colour when dried. Pedicels longer than the calyx, 
which is erect and purplish. Fruit usually abortive.* The purple 
scaly axillary bulbs as well as the creeping rhizomes propagate 
the plant. Plant bright green, glabrous. Leaflets ciliated at the 
margins.
