PRODROMUS MONOGRAPHLE GEORUM. 59 
Syn. Steversia albiflora Hook. Fl. antarct. 1, p. 9 et tab. VII. 
Habit. in Australia in "Lord Aucklands’ group; rocky places on the hiles, 
alt. 1000 feet” (Hook. I. e.) (v. ic.). 
Planta parvula, forsitan species minima Sieversiarum. — Hirsutum. Radix 
repens, lignosa, subfusiformis, obliqua. Caules vel potius scapi prodeunt ex apice 
rhizomatis, ramosi, duplo vel triplo longiores quam folia radicalia, parce foliosi, tri- 
quinqueflori. Pedicelli superne incrassati, unibracteati, bractea sessili trifida. Car- 
pophorum elongatum, gracile. 
Obs. lllustr. Hooker observat hane speciem cum arctico Geo Rossii in eo 
convenire, quod habet "elongated receptacle, hispid as it were with persistent stipi- 
tes of the carpels." — Habitu videtur simile illis speciebus Americ australis Geo 
involucrato et G. parvifloro. 
40. GEUM ADNATUM Wall. foliis radicalibus interrupte pinnatipartitis, la- 
ciniis approximatis, crenato-lobatis, supra villosis, subtus glabris, cilia- 
tis, lateralibus et terminali conformibus; foliis caulinis parvis pinnati- 
fidis vel trifidis; petalis . . . . calyce erecto puberulo; carpellis pilosis, 
stylis rectis glabris. 
Syn. G. adnatum Wall. Cat. 712. 
Sieversia adnata Don gen. Syst. 2, p. 527. 
Habit. in India orientali; Gossain than Nepalensium (mus. Holmiens. a WAL- 
LICH missum) (v. S.). 
Planta spithamea, vix pedalis, puberula. Caules adscendentes, uniflori, 
parce foliati, prodeunt ex una radiee complures. Folia radiealia caulibus paulo bre- 
viora, laeiniis utrinque decem-quindeeim, fere rotundatis, approximatis et petiolo 
quasi adnatis, basin versus decrescentibus. Laciniæ superiores magis approximate, 
fere alternæ, inferiores vero distantes opposite; lacinia terminalis similis superiorum 
laeiniarum lateralium, Laciniæ ealyeinz lato-ovate, puberulæ, braeteolis longe ma- 
jores. — Petala deficiunt in speciminibus, quæ vidi. 
41. Geum Rossı (Rob. Brown) foliis radicalibus interrupte pinnati-parti- 
tis, laciniis glabris, ciliolatis, numerosis, trilobis vel inciso-serratis , 
imis nanis indivisis; foliis caulinis pinnatipartitis, laciniis indivisis, ple- 
rumque duobus; petalis flavis obovatis, calyce sesquilongioribus, venis 
omnino distinctis; carpellis hirsutis; stylis in fructu non exsertis, 
glabris.
