 petals alternately outer, and two inner, and one having one side 

 within and the other side without the next petal; whereas that has 

 three outer and three inner petals: it differs also in the peduncles 

 being accompanied with two leaflets, the latter of which is furnished 

 with three at the ba<e. It flowers a little earlier lihan the other. It 

 has sometimes two flowers on a stem, though often but one, the pe- 

 duncles villose and short, sa that the flower scarcely rises above 

 the leaves: the petals are five, and roundish; the stamens about 

 fifty. It grows wild in Sweden, &c.

 piilsatilla, Pasque-flower; 2. A. patens, Woolly- leaved Pulsatilla, or

In the first species the peduncles are erect and round, from four 

 to seven or eight inches in height, villose, one-flowered; lengthening 

 after the flowering is past. The involucre multifid, with the divisions 

 linear and villose. It sits close to the flower, but when that is fallen 

 it is found almost in the middle of, the peduncle. The corolla spe- 

 cious, and purple in colour; the petals lanceolate, and villose with- 

 out; the seeds ovate, tailed, hairy, and scarcely adhering to the 

 receptacle: the leaves rough and finely cut, with three or four pairs 

 of pinnas and pinnules. It grows naturally in Sweden, and flowers- 

 in April.

 flowers, with single and double while flowers, with single and double 

 red flowers, and with violet-coloured flowers.

 digitate; leaflets sessile, laciniate and acuminate, the middle leaflet 

 triparlite, the side ones bipartite; the scape one-flowered, shorter 

 than the leaves; the involucre remote and villose; the corolla while
