Hab. In montibus Beluchistan, Stocks ! Afghanistan, Griffith 

 (v. s.) 



Distrib. Taurus ! Mesopotamia ! Persia ! Sibiria altaica ! 



Herba e rhizomate horizontali erecta, glaberrima, -|-l-pedalis, subsimplex, foliis 

 radicalibus longe petiolatis. StipvAce incon spicule ; stipellce nulla;. Foliola pro- 



nata, lineari-oblonga. 



14. T. alp ilium (L. Spec. 767); foliis omnibus radicalibus pin- 

 natis vel bipinnatis, scapis simplicibus racemosis, pedicellis fructiferis 

 reflexis apice dilatatis, acheniis oblongis costatis pedicellatis. — Ledeb.

 acaule, Camb.f in Jacq. Voy. 1. 1 A. p. 3. 



Hab. In paludosis totius Himalaya, et Tibetiae occidentalis, supra 

 10,000 ped. ; in Tibet usque ad alt. 17,000 ped.— (Fl. Jun. Jul.) (v. v.) 

 Distrib. Europa ! Asia ! et America! arctica et alpina. 



Herba pusilla, csespitosa. Foliola rotundata, triloba vel fere tripartita, glabra, 

 subtus glauca. Scapi 3-6-uuciales, erecti, simpliciter racemosi. Bractece oblongre, 

 obtusae, membranacese, infinia interdum subfoliacea triloba. Sepala ovata, mem- 

 branacea, pallide viridia, acutiuscula. Antherte mucronatse. Achenia striata, demuin 

 sublsevia, pedicellis longitudine valde variis, achenio cequalibus vel paullo brevioribus, 



interdum vix ullis. 



Identical with the European plant. In luxuriant specimens from Sikkim the 

 scape is occasionally branched, and bears a small leaf at the point of ramification. 



15. T. Punduaxram (Wall. Cat. 3712!); foliis biternatis (su- 

 perioribus ternatis), foliolis magnis rotuudatis crenatis sub-5-lobis, 

 panicula terminali divaricato-ramosa fere aphylla, acheniis numerosis 

 oblongis sessilibus sulcatis stylo recto apice uncinato longe rostratis.

Hab. In Himalaya? jugis exterioribus : Kumaon (4500-7000 ped.), 

 Madden! Str. et Wint.!; et in montibus Khasia, alt. 3-4000 ped., 

 Wall.! etc.—(Fl. Aug. Sept.) (v. v.) 



Herba erecta, bipedalis. Folia inferiora longe petiolata, biternata ; media siepe ir- 

 regulariter divisa, nempe ternata, segmento terminali simplici, lateralibus ternatis yel 

 bifoliatis. Petioli basi auriculati. Stipella nullce. Foliola diametro 1-2 uncialia, 

 coriacea, rigida, nervosa, supra nitida, subtus glauca, glaberrima vel tomentosa. Se- 

 pala 4, elliptico-oblonga, nervosa. Filamevia filiformia. Antherce vix apiculatsc. 

 Achenia glanduloso-pilosa vel glaberrima, stylo sequilongo rostrata. 



It is singular that this species, which occurs in Kumaon and Khasia, should not 

 have been met with in Nipal or Sikkim. The Kumaon specimens, which we have 

 seen, are all glabrous; but in the Khasia mountains both states occur, that with to- 

 mentose leaves being, however, more common. 



16. T. Dalzellii (Hook. Ic. Plant, t. 856 !) ; foliis tematipartitis, 

 foliolis magnis orbiculato-reniformibus profunde cordatis crenato-lobatis 

 vel sub-5-k)bis, panicula parva, Horibus ad ramorum apices glomeratis, 

 acheniis numerosis brevisshne pedicellatis oblongis sulcatis, stylo un- 

 cinato breviter rostratis. 



Hab. In montibus Siadri provincise Concan, Balzell ! — (v. s.)
