 Lois. not. p. 47. t. 4. Tragium Columnae, Spreng. umb. spec. 

 134. P. saxifragay, Lois. fl. gall. 177. Flowers white. There 

 are several varieties, which differ in height and size of leaves, 

 but there are hardly any limits between these varieties. 



Var. ft, glauca (D. C. prod. 4. p. 121.) plant of a canescent 

 glaucous hue : radical leaves pinnate ; leaflets roundish-ovate, 

 somewhat 3-lobed, toothed, pubescent on both surfaces, the 3

 villi. Tf.. H. Native of Sicily, on the Nebrodes. Tragium 

 glaucum, Presl, del. prag. p. 125. Flowers white. Allied to 

 P. Cumbrce, but the leaflets are all 3-lobed, and the terminal 

 one deeply so.

 sected into narrow linear segments. 1. H. Native of Tauria. 

 P. Tragium var. Bieb. suppl. p. 250. P. petrae a, Beaupre,

11 P. FEREGRI'NA (Lin. mant. p. 357.) plant pubescent; 

 radical leaves pinnate ; leaflets ovate-cordate, serrated : terminal 

 one usually 3-lobed ; cauline leaves narrow, wedge-formed, 

 jagged; fruit hispid. $ . H. Native from the south of France 

 to Sicily, Caucasus, and Tauria. Jacq. hort. vind. 2. t. 131.

 Tragium Tauricum, Ledeb. Barr. icon. 1184. Column, ecphr. 

 1. t. 109. Flowers white. The herb varies in smoothness and 

 hairiness ; in the first state it is P. peregrinum, D. C. fl. fr. 

 suppl. p. 502. : in the second it is P. hispida, Lois. ex. D. C. 

 1. c. The first leaves are simple, the second ternate, but the 

 succeeding ones are pinnate, also the lower stem ones ; but the 

 upper stem leaves are variously divided into lanceolate segments. 

 The umbels are drooping before the expansion of the flowers. 

 The seeds have no smell, and when first chewed have scarcely 

 any taste, but in a short time are very acrimonious, and excite 

 a great heat in the fauces.

13 P. VILLOSA (Schousb. mar. p. 125.) plant glaucous, rather 

 pubescent ; radical leaves bipinnate ; leaflets obovate-cuneated,

 the petals being villous not glabrous. 



Villous Burnet-saxifrage. Fl.Ju. Aug. Clt. 1817. PI. 2 ft. 



14 P. CU'MBR*: (Buch. ubers. can. p. 29. and beschreib. d. 



can. ins. p. 152.) the whole plant is hoary from short down; 

 radical leaves pinnate ; leaflets 5-7, ovate, deeply serrated, ter- 

 minal one usually 3-lobed : stem nearly leafless, branched ; 

 petals villous. I/ . G. Native of Teneriffe, on the highest 

 mountains. Tragium incanum, Chois. ined. Said to be allied 

 to P. villosa, but differs in being more hoary, and in the leaves 

 being simply pinnate, not doubly pinnate. Root woody, throw- 

 ing out many stems at the neck.

15 P. psEt/Do-TRA v oiuM (D. C. prod. 4. p. 122.) plant glau- 

 cous and canescent ; radical leaves pinnate ; leaflets roundish- 

 ovate, somewhat 3-lobed, deeply toothed, velvety-canescent on 

 both surfaces : upper ones trifid : lower ones undivided, linear ; 

 petals rather villous on the outside; fruit very hairy. 1f. H. 

 Native of Persia, in dry exposed stony places about Seidkhodzi. 

 This is an intermediate plant between P. tragium and P. aromd- 

 ticum. The fruit is larger than in either, and the hairs on the 

 plant are soft and spreading, not as in P. tragium, adpressed. 

 Petals rather villous on the outside, not as in P. aromatic very 

 hairy.

 sheaths of upper cauline leaves leafless ; petals yellow, canes- 

 cent on the back, as well as on the germs. 2(.. H. Native of 

 Caucasus, in dry stony places on the mountains of Talusch, near 

 Swant, at the elevation of about 3000 feet.

 fruit has only been seen.
