 leaves 3-parted ; segments bipartite or trifid ; lobes lanceolate, 

 deeply serrated ; those of the involucrum and involucels sessile ;

 H. Native in North America in meadows and on the borders of 

 rivers, from the United States to near the mouth of the Mackenzie 



river, and from Hudson's Bay to the Pacific, as well as on the bor- 

 ders of fountains in Siberia. Hook. fl. bor. amer. 8. t. 3. B. An.

Var. /3, Laxmdnni (D. C. syst. 1. p. 210.) involucrum 2- 

 leaved ; lateral pedicles involucelled at base. Perhaps a distinct 

 species. The flower at first sight has the appearance of An. 

 narcissiflbra, but upon a more attentive examination it is seen to 

 belong to An. Pennsyhanica.

47 AN. DICHO'TOMA (Lin. amoen. 1. p. 155.) leaves 3-parted;

 sessile, all 2-leaved ; sepals 5, elliptical ; carpels smooth. I/ . H. 

 Native of Siberia in moist woods and pastures ; Dauria, near

 decad. 29. t. 15. Root creeping. Fruit at last smooth. Flowers 

 white with a tinge of red on the under side, smaller than those 

 of the foregoing. Lobes of leaves oblong. Pedicels many, 

 usually bifid. Like An. Pennsylvdnica, but differing in its sta- 

 ture, being more slender, with a smooth surface. Perhaps the 

 American plant is exactly the same as the Siberian one. Dr. 

 Hooker considers this and the preceding identical, but at present 

 we consider it most proper to keep them separate.
