184 MEMOIRS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 
slender. Scape 2—4-flowered, seldom exceeding the leaves. Flowers 1-1.5 em. in diam- 
eter; bractlets and sepals lanceolate; petals obovate. Fruit hemispheric, about 1 em. 
in diameter; achenes set in very deep pits. 
It differs from the preceding in the narrow leaflets, which are searcely at all oblique, 
the slender rootstock, the more delicate habit and the deeply pitted fruit." It has nearly 
the same range as I” glauca.

Rootstock short and thick. Leaves rather thick and firm, somewhat glaucous, gla- 
brate aboye, rather densely silky beneath ; petioles rather stout, 1-4 em. long, densely 
silky-strigose; leaflets subsessile or short-petiolate, oblong or cuneate, 2-3 cm. long, 
toothed above the middle, the lateral ones scarcely at all oblique at the base. Scape 
short, densely silky-strigose, not much over .5 dm. high. Runners rather numerous, 
long and stout. Flowers 1-1.5 cm. in diameter ; bractlets and sepals lanceolate; petals 
obovate, exceeding the sepals by a half. F ruit hemispheric, about 1 em. in diameter ; 
achenes set in pits. 
This is evidently closely related to the two preceding, but differs in the texture of the 
leaves and the hairiness of the scape and petioles. The leaves have about the same form 
and texture as in F. cuneifolia, from which the plant differs mainly in the fruit. It 
also resembles F. pumila, but differs in the glaucous hue.

. That was the case at least with the type specimens which were seen by me in fresh state.
