Knobby Crane's Bill. Geraniimv macidaiiim 7 



Raven's Claw. This may be some acrid species of Ranuncu-

 were it " Discovered" again.

 lish Avens. ( Geum album, which is said to resemble Gettm

 pmyurea, and perhaps Osmorhiza brevistylis.

 likewise some variety which would constitute the " both kinds" 

 specified by the Author. The old Herbals designate a male
