FLORA OF TASMANIA. [Ramcnculacece. 
terminal one-flowered peduncles, as large as those of 0. coriacea. Anthers as in C. coriacea. Carpels as in C. 
bland a. 
I retain this species with great doubt. I gathered it in the neighbourhood of Hobarton, on open banks and on 
a dry soil, where it formed a bushy plant 2-3 feet high ; but on the skirts of the woods it became scandent. Mr. 
Gunn's specimens entirely agree with mine, and some of his, from Launceston, are also scandent : the latter arc 
intermediate in character between C. coriacea and C. blarula, as the descriptions indicate. The erect state should 
be cultivated in gardens, both from roots and seeds, and in several different localities and exposures, and the results 
recorded. In the herbarium it is impossible to distinguish all states of the three species described above, and the 
local observer should be careful how he lays much stress on the habit and general appearance of the individuals of 
so protean a genus. Mr. Gunn appears unable to distinguish this from C. blanda. De Candolle gives Maria Island, 
which is off the east coast of Tasmania, as the habitat for this species, where it was gathered by Caley.

Distiub. South and west coasts of extra-tropical Australia. 
A remarkably distinct species, which may be recognized at once by the pale green colour, very narrow sepals, 
and short, broadly oblong, blunt anthers, that have no points whatever.— Stems slender, grooved ; branches and 
panicles silky. Leaves extremely variable in size and amount of division ; leaflets coriaceous, ±-l\ inch long, vary- 
ing from linear to broadly ovate, blunt, generally coriaceous, petiolate, quite entire, the terminal one sometimes 
lobed. Flowers very variable in size, 1-2 inches in diameter, cream-coloured. Sepals very narrow, often strap- 
shaped, downy. Carpels in Swan River specimens with very long awns, glabrous or downy. 
This appears to me to be a common South and West Australian species, that will grow with considerable luxu- 
riance near the sea, but in the interior becomes extremely small, with diminutive leaflets and flowers.— Plate I.

Gen. II. ANEMONE, L. 
Sepala imbricata. Petala 0. Stamina indefinita. Carpella plurima ; ovulo pendulo ; stylo brevi. 
Sepals imbricated. Petals 0. Stamens many. Carpels many, with one pendulous ovule, and a simple short 
style.— Perennial-rooted herbs, with radical divided leaves, and a few cauline ones that are whorled upon the stem 
and form an involucre. 
Almost the only other southern species of this genus is the Fuegian A. decapetala, L., which is also a native 
of Europe and North America, and a few South African ones ; none are found in New Zealand or Australia : many 
inhabit various parts of the northern hemisphere. (Name, the Greek one for the genus.)
