even in this form persistent sepals are here and there met with, which shows how worthless this 
ter is as a generic, or even specific, mark. 
Note —Erase the figure 5 beneath the pistil marked k, mark the pistil in the lower right corner with the letter т, 
and change the second letter e into 1.

There is little to be added to Wallich’s description of this plant in the Transactions of the 
Medical and Physical “Society of Calcutta (vol. VIII). Wallich calls the carpels “breve stipitata,” but 
his follicles were not ripe, and the pistil is always only very shortly stipitate; when ripe the stipes 
is about as long as the follicle, as seen from fig. 1. The specimens figured on plate 114 were 
grown in Mr. Mann’s garden in Shillong, The Chinese plants are evidently exactly like them.

Coptis ОЗРЕТОСАЕРА, Paul Brühl. 
Quite glabrous. Rhizome stout-cylindric or subtuberiform, horizontal, covered at 
the apex with triangular subcarnose scales. Stem slender, erect, 50—80 em. high (per- 
haps even higher), terete, striated, solid, 3—4 mm. thick near the base, leafy. Inter- 
nodes 10—12 cm. long below. Leaves very large, much paler beneath, subtriternatisect, 
gradually but distinctly decreasing in size upwards; blade deltoidal in outline; nerves 
slender, more distinct beneath; petiole somewhat shorter than the blade, dilated at 
the base into a short (1 сш. and less), ovate, membranous sheath, canaliculate on the 
upper surface, striated (when dry) lower 8—10, uppermost 8—4 ст. long; primary 
segments ovate-oblong in outline, apparently pinnately divided, rather long petioluled; 
petiolules slender, middle one about twice as long as the lateral omes, 8 em. in the 
lower, 2 em. in the uppermost leaves; segments of the second order petioluled ; 
middle petiolule in the lower leaves 1:5—3 ст. lateral ones 3— 10 mm, long; latera 
segments of the second order somewhat oblique, suborbicular or broadly ovate in out- 
line, trisect to trifid or unequally bipartite, terminal partition obovate or rhoribic, lateral 
ones trapezoidal; terminal segment of the second order cordate-ovate in outline, sub- 
pinnately cleft; lower divisions nearly to the base, more or less obliquely lanceolate- 
oblong, upper ones linear-oblong; divisions of the third order pirnately cleft and
