340 Dr. Smith's Account of several Plants^ 



made from an imperfect specimen of ChcErophi/lliim temulentunif 

 accidentally mistaken for the aiireum, from which it widely 

 differs. 



5. S AxiT RAG A pedatijida, 



foliis radicalibus reniformibus pedatifido-septemlobis ; caulinis 

 palmatis linearibusque, caule subnudo ramoso, petalis lineari- 

 obovatis. 



S. pedatifida. Ehrhart Exsicc. n. 15. 



S. quinquefida. Donn Cant, ed. 5. 107. 



Found (by Mr. George Don) on the mountains of Clova, An- 

 gusshire. The same was sent to the Cambridge garden, some 

 years since, from the Highlands, by the late Mr. J. Mackay. 

 It comes nearest to S. geranioides, with which the Swiss botanists 

 seem to have confounded it, but differs in the pedate form of 

 the radical leaves, which are divided almost to the base, their 

 lobes narrower and blunter than in that species. The petals too 

 are much narrower, and the calyx-teeth less elongated after 

 flowering. The true S.petrcea, Jacq. Ic. Kar. t. 81, a plant known 

 to very few botanists, has leaves divided in a somewhat similar 

 manner, but the stem is much more leafy, and the petals ernar- 

 ginate, as in Pona's and Jacquin's figures. 



6. Saxifraga elongella, 



foliis aristatis trifidis quinquefidisve : basi elongatis ; superioribus 

 linearibus indivisis, pedunculis longissimis nudis. 

 S. elongella. Donn Cant. ed. 5. 107 ; ex nomine. 



Gathered on a rock by a river called Lintrathen, a mile and 

 half north of Airly castle, Angusshire. The late Mr. J. Mackay 

 sent it formerly to Cambridge ; at least if I am right in the sy- 

 nonym.
