New Alpine Plants. 103 
Ranunculus and P. trifoliata, but cannot surpress my opinion, 
that Pozoa and Azorella, rank only as groups of one large 
and polymorphous genus, namely Fragosa. 
(Sect. Sphagnosciadium. ) 
Umbels few flowered, paniculate; leaflets of the involucre 
few or reduced to one; flowers hermaphrodite; teeths of the 
calyx deciduous. 
13. Pozoa cunetfolia. 
Sphagnosciadium cuneifolium, Ferd. Mueller coll. 
Glabrous; rhizome, thick; stems erect; leaves all radical, 
cuneate, tapering into a long petiole, three-nine nerved, in 
front with three-nine acute teeth or laciniz; bracteoles lan- 
ceolate-subulate, entire; generally equal in number to the 
flowers of the umbels; flowers pedicellate, sometimes solitary; 
teeths of calyx small, nearly acute; petals white; fruit ovate, 
with a retuse base; carpels slightly compressed at the back, 
strongly five-ribbed. 
At Mount Wellington, the Cobboras Mountains, and other 
localities of the Australian Alps, always in turf moss, (5,000 
feet. 
a not without hesitation that I referred this plant to 
Pozoa, differing from the rest so decidedly in its infloresence, 
yet hardly in other respects. ; 
Gingidium ; Forster. 
Anisotome; J. Hooker, not of Entomologists. Calosciadium, 
Endlicher. 
14. Gingidium glaciale. 
Diceceous; stem robust; leaves rigid, in outline almost 
ovate, bi- or tripinnated; segments hardly spreading, broad- 
linear, undivided, acute, mucronate, streaked, as well the 
rachis channelled and traversely articulated; umbels, many- 
rayed; carpels equal, semiterete. 
In the higher regions of the Australian Alps, not rare, 
(5-7,000 feet). 
The strange rigid foliage attracts the notice of all travellers 
which yet penetrated into this mountain.
