Cult. All the species are shewy flowering plants well worth the 

 cultivator's care ; they thrive best in a light loamy soil. Those 

 species belonging to sections Pulsatilla, Preondnthus, Anemonos- 

 permos, and Omalocdrpus, are either increased by dividing the 

 plants at the root or by seeds : and those belonging to section 

 Anemonanthea are either increased by offsets from the roots or 

 by seeds ; those of section Pulsatilloides are greenhouse evergreen 

 herbaceous plants, and grow best in an equal mixture of sand, 

 loam, and peat, but care must be taken not to let them have too 

 much water when in a dormant state. They often produce per- 

 fect seeds, by which young plants are readily raised : they will 

 also strike root from cuttings, in the same kind of soil, under a 

 hand-glass. 



f" Species belonging to section Pulsatilla, which appear to be 

 only varieties of An. patens and An. pratensis.

 lobes cut-serrated ; sepals elliptical or lanceolate, clothed with 

 yellowish villi on the outside. If. . H. Native of Saxony on

 Sepals 6, elliptical, spreading, pale violet or red, yellowish on
