DELPHINIUM UNCINATUM, H. f. et T. 
A perennial herb. Rhizome descending or vertical, subcylindric, 4—8 mm. thick, 
covered with old leaf-sheaths at the apex. Stem solitary or double, simple or scarcely 
branched, terete, subflexuose to geniculate, 12—45 cm. high, near the base 2—4 mm. 
thick, internodes very short near the base, upwards 1—4 cm. long, entirely glabrous or 
from a glabrescent base upwards densely velvety with spreading hairs of a length of 
1—2 mm. Leaves long-petioled, crowded at the base; petioles slender, subcanuliculate, 
dilated at the base into a lanceolate parallel-veined sheath, two to three times as long 
as the lamina, glabrous or somewhat hairy; leaf-blade trisect to the base, 1:5 to 6 em. 
long, 2:5 to 8 cm. broad, glabrous or villose especially when young; segments cuneate at 
the base, lateral ones unequally bisect with the external divisions often deeply bipartite, 
divisions lanceolate in outline, divergent, alternately or suboppositely pinnately incised,
