POLYAND. POLYGYN. 



. Meadows and pastures, very common. /3. On the Highland moun- 

 tains, frequent. Fl. June, July. I/ . 



This varies extremely in size and pubescence. Stem -erect. There is 

 an alpine variety which 1 have met with abundantly on the High- 

 land mountains /which I cannot distinguish otherwise from this, than 

 by its smaller size and 1 -flowered stem. Mr. D. Don finds, I think, 

 the same thing, but there are sometimes two and even three flowers 

 upon the stem, and the cal. is densely villous, which prevents it from 

 being the R.montanus \Yilld., by which name he calls it in his MSS. 

 His plant, however, is glabrous, and mine is very hairy. In this parti- 

 cular the R. montanus (as well as the acris) varies extremely, and 

 appears to me a very doubtful species. 



10. R. repens (creeping Crow/oof), calyx spreading, flowerstalks 

 furrowed, scyons creeping, leaves cut into 3 petiolated leaflets 

 which are 3-lobed or 3 -partite and cut. Light/', p. 292*
