ANEMONE THALICTROIDES plena. 
Class. Order. 
POLYANDRIA POLYGYNIA. 
The Anemone thalictroides in a single 
state is a native of North America, from 
Canada to Carolina. Our present plant, 
which is the double variety, is much culti- 
vated for its beauty in the American gar- 
dens; it grows stronger than the single, 
and may be kept in loam and peat soil 
in a pot with little protection. It will 
increase by dividing the roots, which should 
be done in autumn. M. De Candolle and 
he French botanists class it with Thalictrum, 
but, as our excellent friend Dr. Sims ob- 
serves, ‘though it be a dubious species, it 
certainly agrees in more points with Ane- 
mone than with Thalictram.”
