ANEMONE ALBA. 
Class. Order. 
POLYANDRIA POLYGYNIA. 
A native of Dauria and the Crimea. 
It obviously approaches to the A. sylvestris, 
t hould bet ted with M. Decandolle 
t in P 
to consider it sufficiently distinct to form a 
species: we have therefore retained his 
name, being already published ; otherwise, 
as Sir J. Smith in Rees's Cyclopadia justly 
observes, gossypina would have been pre- 
ferable, since the seed is used in its native 
place for some of the purposes of cotton. 
With us it is a hardy, herbaceous plant, 
which may either be kept in a small pot or 
planted in a border: it flowers in August, a 
long time after the Sylvestris. It is easily 
increased by its creeping roots. The soil 
should be light loam. <
