 its flowers more drooping, less open, 

 and of a black and velvety violet, 

 which looks red when seen against the 

 light. On the seacoast near Trieste, and 



in S. Tyrol near Botzen. Rockwork 



and borders, in light well-drained soils.

 8 in. to 1 ft. high. Flowers, in early 

 summer; whitish, sometimes purple 

 on the outside, in umbels. Leaves, 

 stalked, palmately divided ; the lobes
