 1-3-flowered. Flowers cream-coloured, twice the size of those

 stems and leaves being densely beset with glandular hairs, and 

 in the petals being obovate, retuse, and twice the length of the 

 calyx. 



Far. fl, trifida (Gaudin, in Meisner, anz. p. 66. fl. helv. 3.

113 S. DEPRE'SSA (Sternb. rev. sax. 42. t. 11. a. f. 5.) stem 

 roughish, few-flowered, furnished with 2 leaves, one of which 

 is a little stem-clasping ; leaves spatulate, entire, and cuneately

 campanulate ; calycine lobes triangular, broad. l/.H. Native 

 of Italy, on Mount Alto. Haw. enum. sax. p. 31. It differs 

 from S. androsacea, to which it is nearly allied, in the leaves 

 running into the petiole at the base, and in the lower surface 

 of the leaves being roughish from short stiflfish hairs, not pilose. 

 Perhaps the same as S. androsacea fl, tridentata.
