With the exception of Dr. Wallich’s Zh. rotundifolium of 
Nepal. (a country far removed from the west coast of Bombay) 
this has the largest leaves or leaflets of any known Thalictrum ; 
but 7k. rotundifolium is described, and the original specimens in 
my Herbarium confirm the character, as having simple or un- 
divided leaves. 7%. rupestre, Madden in Herb. nostr. (7. sani- 
culeforme, DC.) from 6,500 to 7,000 feet of elevation in the 
mountains of Kamaoun, has nearly the same shaped leaves, but 
they are biternate, on very long stalks, and are of a much more 
membranaceous character. Z%. Punduanum, Wall. Cat. and in 
Herb. nostr. (n. 8712), has more cordate or ovate leaves, with a 
shallow sinus at the base, or even entire and acute there, and also 
triternate leaves, and rough or echinate fruit. I think the pre- 
sent is a truly distinct species, and is probably quite confined to 
the localities above specified. In drying it turns of a pale 
green colour.
