 front. Involucra and involucels of many lanceolate-linear leaves, 

 with membranous margins. A perennial herb, having a fusees- 

 cent root, nearly a foot long. Stem solitary, 2-3 inches high,

 which are furnished with leaves beneath the middle. Petals 

 dilated into sheaths. Leaves pinnate ; leaflets pinnatifid. Cau-
