Our specimens of this and the last species are not sufficient to enable us to decide 



to our own satisfaction whether or not they be distinct from one another, and even 



from T. Pundua?ium t to which the form of the leaflets approximates them very 

 iosely.

Petala nulla. Achenia mutica vel caudata, mouosperma. — Herba*

Chiefly a northern genus, with a few species in the mountains of South America, 

 and several in South Africa. The Indian species are all confined to the mountains, 

 none occurring below 5000 feet, and are mostly alpine. There is also a single 

 species in Tasmania, and one in the mountains of the island of Sumatra. 



To the sections instituted by De Candolle we have added one characterized by 

 the small, remarkably woolly achenia. It includes A. sylvestris, I*., A. Virginiana, 

 L., and many other European and American species, and appears to form a very 

 natural group.

Tiljetan specimens agree exactly with Siberian ones in everything but the colour 

 of the flower, in which respect they are, as it were, intermediate between the two 

 varieties distinguished by Ledebour. Perhaps the species is only an alpine state of A. 

 pratensis, which appears to differ chiefly by beiug larger, with larger, deeper blue 

 flowers, a more deeply divided involucre, and more finely cut leaves.
