 Downy Andryala ; 4. A. lanata, Woolly An-

The first rises to near a foot and half in height, 

 with woolly branching stems, having the leaves 

 scatterinely set on, which are oblong and downy. 

 The flowers, which are produced in small clus- 

 ters at the top of the stalks, are of a yellow 



Its creeping roots, which may be taken off either 

 in the early autumn or spring seasons. When 

 protected by means of a green-house, they flower 

 the whole of the summer after perfecting their 

 seeds. 



The third species, from its hoary appearance, 

 has a fine effect when intermixed with others 

 that have green leaves. When placed abroad, 

 it requires a dry soil and very warm situation. 



ANEMONE, a genus comprL>hending several 

 plants of the tubrous-rooted flowery ornamental 



colour. It flowers in July, and the seeds' ripen kind ; being perennial in their roots, but annual 

 in September. It is annual, and a native of in their stems and flowers 



the south of France. 



The second species rises three feet in height : 

 the stem is erect, herbaceous, simple, branch- 

 panicled, at top round, size of the finger, 

 shaggy, marked with the scars of the leaves. 



It belongs to the class and order Polyandria 

 Poli/sj/nia, and ranks in the natural order of 

 MufthUiijuce. 



The characters are : that it has no calyx ; that 

 the corolla has petals in two or three rows, three 



The" branches alternate, loose, and they and the in a row, somew hat oblong : the stamina have 

 whole plant covered with a down, glanduliferous numerous filaments, capillary, half the length

 branchins, leafy, and very loose : the flowers lowed, and dotted : the seeds very many, acu- 

 yellow, s'carcely nodding : the peduncles stift", minate, retaining the style.

 In the third species the lower leaves are about Anemone; 4. A. apennina, Mountain-blue 

 four inches long, but little more than half an Wood Anemone; 5. A. ranunculmdes, Yellow-

nine inches in heiglu, dividing towards the top In the first species the flower-stems rise be- 



into two or three smaller branches, and at each tween the leaves nnmediatcly from the roots, 



joint a small leaf almost entire ; one yellow two, three, or more from the same root, to 



flower terminates every branch in June and July, the height of eight, ten, or twelve mches. 



It has been received from the Cape and Algiers, having a leafy appendage or involucrum a little 



In the fourth the root is thick and fibrous : 

 the leaves broader, longer, and more downy : 

 the flower-stems near two feet in height, with 

 a single leaf at each joint, whence arise pedun- 

 cles, each sustaining one large yellow flower. 

 The whole pl.-.nt is white. It is biennial, and 

 flowers in June ; the seeds ripen in August 



above'the middle." The radical leaves are deeply 

 divided into numerous segments, which are sub- 

 divided by threes into many narrow divisions. 

 At the top each stem is adorned with a flower, 

 which in the double sorts is large and very or- 

 namental. It is a native of the Levant, where 

 it grows single, but has been rendered double
