ANEMONE MULTIFIDA Poir. (Plate XXII.) 

 Radical leaves long-petioled, to 12 cm., reniform, 3-5-parted, the seg-

 Styles subulate. (= "A. decapetala patagonica O. Ktze.," fide Speg.) 



FIG. 67. 



Other parts are as A. decapetala in which J. 

 D. Hooker included it. Our Patagonian speci- 

 mens give A. multifida much taller (45 cm.), 

 with longer petioles ; and more silky except the 

 petioles ; root woody.
