Leaflets varying much in size, from 
three-fourths of an inch to three inches. 
Fruit with long awns, copiously silky. 
In a richer soil, the leaflets are much 
elongated, and frequently deeply laci- 
‘niated, the segments pointing upwards, 
the flowers twice and thrice as large, so 
that I can hardly conceive a more de- 
sirable plant for cultivation in our gar- 
dens. A species apparently distinct, but 
allied to this, is sent by Mr. Gunn, with 
lanceolate, simple or ternately divided,

This species is a very remarkable one. 
a ts roots are fibrous, but a main fibre often 
bears a tuber, and this sends out a runner 
which throws up a new plant. The carpels 
are nearly globose, wrinkled, longer than 
the beak or persistent style, which is sud- 
denly curved upwards or inwards. Some- 
times the leaves, under a microscope, are 
Seen to bear a few scattered €
