82 ANNALS OF ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN, CALCUITA. 
Var. в. мохахтна P. B.; scapes suberect or ascending, slender, 5—12 em. long, subvillose; 
divisions of slightly hairy blade spreading, not over-lapping; blade 2—2°5 em. across; 
flowers solitary; pedicel distinctly longer than the involucral leaves; sepals obovate- 
oblong, cuneate, about 1 em. long, white; androgynaecium forming а couspicuous 
globular head, stamens 30—40, pistils 40—50; filamen's linear and linear-lanceolate ; 
ovaries elliptic-sblong, moderateiy compressed; style about half аз long as ovary, 
recurved.—Sikkim: on the Tankra-La 15,000’ (G. Gaumie!). ‘This variety is possibly 
identical with Franchet’s var. yunnanensis.

ANEMONE ELONGATA, Don. 
Rhizome woody, stout, fusiform. Basal leaves very long-petioled with the nerves 
little prominent, reniform or semicircular in outline, usually rather shallow-cordate, 
deeply tripartite or trisect, 4—12 cm. from base to tip, paler beneath, subglabrous ог 
more or less pubescent, especially along the nerves; lateral segments trapezoidal or 
unsymmetrically obovate in outline, often semicordate, unequally bipartite, outer 
division bifid, inner irregularly trifid, secondary segments cuneate, and coarsely and 
irregularly serrate; petiole shortly sheathing at the base, slender, 2—6 times the length 
of the blade, subglabrous or moderately hairy. Stems erect, longer than the leaves, 
30—100 em. lorig, glabrous or somewhat pubescent, usually villose at the insertion of 
involueral leaves. Inflorescence a large, lax, subumbellate суше. —Involueres of the 
first order usually 2-, more rarely, 3-leaved; leaves cuneate at base, broad-cuneate, 4—14: 
cm. long, glabrous, subglabrous, or densely pubescent along the nerves, 3 tripartite, 
middle segment trifid, lateral bifid, all serrate; involucres of second order 1--3-leaved, 
leaves 3-cleft, densely villous at base; involucral leaves of the third order 1—2-leaved, 
2—3-fid sparsely serrate; involueral leaves 1 to £ the size of those of the next higher 
order. Peduncles of first order 8—30 em. long, very slender, glabrous or slightly hairy, 
base usually densely villous; secondary peduncles 2—8, rarely all of them simple, usually 
the central one and one or two others simple, the remainder umbel.beaiing, rather 
unequal in length. Pedicels pretty slender, slightly puberulous to densely silky- 
pubescent. Sepals 5, obovate, 9—20 mm. long, $ to 3 as broad, white, glabrous. Stamens 
50—70, unequal, the longest ones $ to $ of sepals; filaments complanate, the outermost 
rarely filiform, linear; anthers cordate-subrotund, 12—1'8 mm. long. Pistils 10—15, 
sessile, 3—3°5 mm. long, glabrous; ovaries compressed to nearly flat, ovate to oblong, 
slightly oblique, narrowly or broadly marginate; style slightly tapering into the obtuse 
stigmatose apex, from $ to nearly + of ovary. Achenes usually only few (1—3, some- 
times 6) attaining maturity, flat, elliptic ог elliptic-oblong, nearly symmetrical оп 
ateral aspect, rather narrow-margined, about 1 cm. long, persistent style rather central, 
permanent basal part short, straight or nearly so, not reflexed and nearly contiguous 
to achene. Seeds and sides of achenes longitudinally ribbed. 
Flowers in July.
