6 B. DICHOTOMA (Pceppig, diar. no. 363. pi. exsic. 95.) plant 

 erect, dichotomous, hoary from stellate fascicles of hairs ; leaves 

 short, petiolate, obovate, coarsely tridentate at the apex ; umbels 

 5-7-flowered, on long peduncles. O- H. Native of Chili, 

 about Valparaiso and the baths of Collina. Peduncles of um- 

 bels about equal in length to the leaves, or longer ; sometimes 

 simple, bearing an umbellule at the apex : sometimes bifid at the 

 apex, bearing 2 linear leaves, each of the branches bearing an 

 umbellule. This species, like the others, varies much in the 

 proportionate length of the peduncles : they are, however, 

 usually much shorter than the petioles.

Cult. The seeds may be reared on a hot-bed in spring ; and 

 when the weather gets warm, the plants may be planted out 

 into the open ground, in any warm sheltered situation.

Cult. If any of the species of this genus should ever be 

 introduced to our gardens, we would advise their being grown 

 in pots, in a mixture of sand and peat, and placed among other 

 alpine plants, so that they may be protected in winter by a 

 frame.
