CRITICAL NOTES ON NEW AND OLD GENERA OF 

 PLANTS.— 11. 



Proposed Thalictrum Segregates 



BY J. A. NIEUWLAND 



In some of our manuals of botany Syndesmon and Thalictrum 

 are by position kept so far apart that it seems as if it were in- 

 tended to destroy their obviously close relationship. Michaux' 

 reduced the Rue Anemone to Thalictrum, following Linnaeus' 

 idea that habit was scarcely a character for generic distinction. 

 There are, however, groups now aggregated under the name 

 Thalictrum that are more different from one another than any 

 separate one is from the long and universally recognized Syn- 



I. Thalictrum anemonoides Michx. Fl. Bor. Am., I, p. 322 (1803).
