ANEMONE RUPESTRIS, Wall, Cat. 4696 in Herb. Calc. 
Primary root soon disappearing. Rhizome short, tuberiform, sometimes forked, ovoid 
or ellipsoid or, when older, short cylindric, 7—18 mm. long, 3—8 mm. thick, emitting 
filiform root-fibres, covered upwards with the remains of the sheaths of fullen leaves, 
the apical growing point surrounded by the rudiments of leaves consisting of a three- 
nerved subevolute sheath and a crenulate or obscurely 5-fid lamina, and often bearing in 
their axils the rudimentary bud of the flowering stem of the following year. Basal leaves 
4— 8, crowded, very long-petioled; petioles dilated at their base into a membranous, glab- 
rous or subvillous, very short (2—3 mm.) sheath, slender (1—) 2—8 em. long, 07--1 mm, 
broad, subglabrous or subvillose; blade membranous, ovate or ovate-oblong in outline, 
tripartite, trisect, trifoliolate or subpinnate, at the base subcordate or subtruncate, 2—20 
mm. long, subisodiametrie, subglabrous or somewhat hairy, sometimes silky; terminal 
segment often petioluled, semicircular or rhombic in outline, 5—14 mm. diameter, three- 
lobed or oftener tripartite or trisect, with the lateral divisions sometimes subcrenate and 
petiolulate; lateral regments broadly deltoid or subreniform, rarely subentire, usually 
three-lobed 4—10 mw. long, ultimate lobes quite entire or serrate-crenate, crenatures 
obtusely apiculate. Flower-bearing branches scapiform, solitary or 2—6 from the axils of 
fallen leaves, erect or ascending, slender, 3—18 cm. long, 0:8--1:5 mm. thick, (}—) 4—2 
the length of the basal leaves, subvillous, towards the base usually less hairy or even 
subglabrous. Floral leaves 3, whorled, inserted at the middle or above the middle, 
rarely close to the flower, sessile, free or scarcely connate at the base, 5-пегуед, the 
nerves being fine, simple or branched, ovate, oblong, or obovate, wedge-shaped, quite 
entire or sparsely and obtusely serrate, 4—10 mm. long, breadth і-і the length, back 
glabrous or slightly hairy, margin ciliate. Flower solitary, erect. ‘Torus subhemispheric 
1--1۰5 mm. in dia., glabrous. Sepals usually 6, spreading, with branched nerves, oblong 
elliptic or obovate, somewhat concave, broadly cuneate; at the tip obtuse or rounded, 
sometimes retuse, 5—8 mm. long, breadth %--% of length, upper surface white or 
light-red and glabrous, lower surfuce red and glabrous or slightly hairy below, sub- 
persistent. Staminodes none. Stamens 6—18, about half as long as the sepals, spreading 
subequal or the outermost distinctly shorter, glabrous subpersistent; filaments dilated, 
near the apex more as less thickened, the outer ones broadly linear or lanceolate and 
shorter or all of them broad-ovate or elliptic, 2—3 mm. long, the breadth of the broader 
ones $— $ their own length; anthers broad.elliptie, blunt, 0:0—0:9 mm. long, sublattzally
