cuneifolia, Juss. ann. mus. 8. p. 248, t. 21. f. 1. An. tenella, 

 Banks, herb. A. borealis, Richards, in Frankl. 1st. journ. ed. 2. 

 p. 22. Flowers small, white ; sepals clothed with pressed hairs 

 on the outside. Fruit woolly, acuminated, collected into a globose

Small-flowered Wind-flower. Fl. Apr. Ju. Clt. 1824. PI. 1 ft. 



30 AN. NEMOROSA (Lin. spe. 762.) leaves ternate ; segments 

 trifid, deeply-toothed, lanceolate acute ; leaves of involucrum 

 stalked ; sepals 6, elliptical. If. . H. Native throughout Europe 

 in groves, hedges, hills, bushy and shady places. North America, 

 from Canada to Carolina. Fl. dan. t. 549 ; Smith eng. bot. 353 ; 

 Schkuhr. handb. t. 150. Colour of flower commonly white, some- 

 times red, lilac, purple or blue, never yellow. Flowers single or 

 double. Leaves of involucrum in threes or fives, with parted 

 segments. In fine clear weather the blossoms are expanded and 

 face the sun ; but in the evening and wet weather they are closed 

 and hang down. This plant is acrid and in some degree poison- 

 ous. Goats and sheep eat it; but horses, cows, and swine refuse 

 it. It is now disused in medicine ; but Chomel says, that the 

 leaves bruised with the flowers, and applied twice a day to the 

 head, have, in a little while, healed the Tinea ; and it is also said 

 that a blister prepared of these, when recent, serves to remove 

 intermittent fevers ; but it should be cautiously used. 



Var. ft, quinquefblia (Lin. spe. 769.) leaves somewhat 5-parted. 

 Native in North America, from Canada to the south of Lake 

 Winepeg and elsewhere, and Siberia. Hardly differing from the 

 European plant, unless that the lateral lobes of the leaves of this 

 plant are often profoundly 2-parted ; but this is also sometimes 

 observed in European plants. 



Var. y,jlore caeruleo is evidently different from An. Apennlna 

 by its root being elongated not tuberous ; sepals 6, elliptical not 

 12-15, linear, oblong.
