nonym, which cannot at this season be determined. Mr. George 

 Don has favoured nie with wild as well as cultivated specimens. 

 The stems creep to some extent, throwing out numerous short 

 leafy branches. Some of the leaves are linear and undivided ; 

 others, from a long narrow base, divide suddenly into 3 equal 

 oblong lobes, the 2 outermost of which have sometimes a short 

 lateral lobe ; all are more or less fringed with soft hairs, and 

 tipped with a small bristle. Neither the lobed nor the undivided 

 leaves seem exclusively appropriated to any particular part of 

 the plant, but those on the upper part of the flowering branches 

 are always undivided. Such branches are erect, bearing seldom 

 more than one large white flower, on a remarkable naked stalk, 

 usually two inches long, erect and slightly glandular. In one lux- 

 uriant cultivated specimen there are five flowers on one branch. 

 The germen is inferior. Calyx-teeth ovate. Petals obovate, en- 

 tire, with three slender ribs separating a little above the base.

Found on the mountains of Clova in Angusshire. We have 

 the same gathered by Mr. D. Turner upon Snowdon. It has 

 the habit of S. hypnoides; but the leaves are almost universally 

 divided into three, sometimes five, lobes, a few on the upper part 

 of the flowering stem only being undivided. The petals moreover 

 are very different, being twice as broad, and almost orbicular, 

 with three ribs, of which the central one is often deeply divided, 

 while the others sometimes throw off" numerous lateral branches 

 towards the edge of the petal.
