Mr. G. H. Cave, director, Lloyd Botanic Garden. This 

 Himalayan plant resembles in many respects the well- 

 known Japanese anemone. The woolly foliage , however , is

 and are produced very freely during the summer months. 

 This plant is not quite so hardy as its Japanese rela- 

 tive. (Adapted from Gardeners' Chronicle, Feb. 24, 

 1917, p. 88.)
