ftand within it a vaft number of very fhort fila- 
ments, and among them the rudiments of nume- 
rous capfules. Toward the bottom of each petal 
there is a gland which opens in a labiated manner, 
the lip being undivided. 
The feeds are contained in numerous capfules. 
It is a native of Wales, and of fome of the 
northern counties of England. It flowers in 
June.

The root is a tuft of long, thick fibres. 
‘The leaves rifing from the root are deeply di- 
vided in the manner of thofe of the other; but 
they ftand on fhorter footftalks, and are of a pale 
green. ‘ 
The ftalk is round, tolerably upright, and 
about ten inches high. 
Its leaves are few; and they are deeply di- 
vided, and have the divifions ferrated at the edge 
as the others: they are of a paler green, and 
ftand very irregularly. 
The flowers are very large, and very beautiful : 
their colour is a deep yellow, with a tinge 
of orange ; and they at firft have the figure of

great number of threads within, and are fucceeded 
by many fhort and flat pods. 
What is very fingular in the ftru€ture of the 
flower in this fpecies is, that the glandules we 
have defcribed at the bottoms of the petals in the 
common globe-flower, are in this very long, and 
give a very particular afpect to the whole. 
This fpecies is a native of many parts of the 
world, but not of England. Tournefort found 
it in the Greek iflands, and Amman in Siberia: 
they both defcribe it as a fpecies of hellebore. 
Tournefort calls it Helleborus niger orientalis ra- 
aunculi folio flore nequaquam globofo. Amman, 
Helleborus aconiti folio flore glebofo croceo. 
Linnaeus defcribes the firft as a fpecies of 
hellebore, in his Flore laponica.
