 rising with or before the flower. Native also of North America, 

 on the eastern declivities of the Rocky Mountains. (Hook.) An.

12 AN. INTEGRIFOLIA ; plant densely clothed with villi ; root 

 woody, fusiform ; leaves all radical, ovate, entire ; petiole rather 

 broad very villous at the base ; scape much shorter than the 

 leaves; involucrum wanting; sepals numerous about 15, linear, 

 villous on the back thrice as long as the stamens. If. . F. Native 

 of Peru on the Andes. Flower solitary, large, purple. This 

 very remarkable plant will perhaps form a distinct genus with the 

 Hepatica integrifolia of D. C. from the want of the involucrum.

 gated, single or double ; sepals oval or orbicular. See Weinm. 

 figures cited above. 



Anemone coronaria is a well known florist flower, valued for 

 its hardy nature, and also because it will flower at almost any 

 season, according to the time the roots are kept out of the ground, 

 and the season when they are replanted. Many new varieties 

 have been raised from seed, but they are not named by florists, 

 as in the case of Tulips and Pinks. The prevailing colours are 

 red, white, and blue ; and semi-double flowers are in nearly as 

 much repute as double ones. A root which has remained in the 

 ground two or three years will attain a great breadth. They are 

 increased by dividing the roots. The soil preferred by the Ane- 

 mone is a fresh loam rather heavy than light. The usual time of 

 planting is in October, covering the roots three inches ; but to 

 have earlier bloom, they may be planted in the beginning of Sep- 

 tember, and to have bloom every month in the year, plant every 

 month. The finer sorts require protection from violent storms 

 and excessive light and heat ; but many varieties do exceedingly 

 well in borders. A very severe winter will destroy the roots if 

 the surface is not mulched, but the Anemone is considerably 

 hardier than the garden Ranunculus. 



In order to obtain new varieties, seeds should be saved from 

 fine single or semi-double kinds ; and sown in shallow pots, or 

 boxes filled with light rich earth, in August, covering them a 

 quarter of an inch thick with the same kind of earth, and when 

 the plants rise, care should be taken to protect them from the 

 frost. InAjhe following season, when their leaves begin to decay, 

 they shoujbe taken up and dried, and afterwards planted out in 

 borders in the same manner as the old roots ; and in the follow- 

 ing summer they will produce flowers.

16 AN. PUSILLA (D. C. syst. 1. p. 19 7.) leaves ternate ; seg- 

 ments multifid ; lobules linear, mucronated ; leaves of involucrum 

 sessile, cut at top : sepals 6, oblong, distant. If. . H. Native of 

 the island of Cyprus. Deless. icon. sel. 1. t. 12. Root tuber- 

 ous, the size of a nut. Flower erect, pale purple. Sepals 6, 

 rarely 4-5. Carpels woolly, disposed into an oval-oblong head. 

 Very near An. Coronaria, and perhaps only a variety of it. 



Small Wind-flower. Fl. ? PL | foot. 



17 AN. PAVONINA (D. C. syst. 1. p. 197.) leaves 3-parted ; 

 lobes cuneated, deeply toothed ; leaves of the involucrum sessile, 

 oblong, entire, or somewhat toothed; sepals 10-12, lanceolate, 

 very acute. I/ . H. Native of Gascony, in vineyards near the 

 river Adour ; in Provence ; about Olbia, and Nice. Flower- 

 ing in the summer. Clus. hist. 1. p. 261, 262. f. 1. and 2. 

 Mor. oxon. sect. 4. t. 35. f. 1. Very rarely seen with single 

 flowers, but the double variety is to be found common enough 

 in gardens under the names of An. CEil de Paon, An. Candiote, 

 An. de Crete, &c. Easily distinguished from An. Coronaria by 

 its very acute sepals. Flowers variable in colour.
