Kumlienia Cooleyae. Ranunculus Cooleyce, Eose, Contr. 

 U S. Herb. i. 289, t. 22 (1893). If the figure of the flower 

 be correct, this species has both calyx and corolla much more 

 like those of Eanunculus than has the typical Kumhema. 

 In that we have the calyx of Caltha and the corolla of 

 Helleborus; but even in this second species the petals are 

 represented as differing much from those of Ranunculus as 

 to the nectariferous part. The carpels are genuinely those of 

 Kumlienia, which are striate-nerved as m the genus 



CyriorrJiynca.
