22. Anemone Sellowii, Pritz. 



A. Sellowii, Pritz., Linnaea, xv, 667 (1841). 



"Foliis radicalibus ternatis, foliolis breviter petiolatis late ovatis supra 

 argute-serratis, lateralibus profundissime bipartitis, intermedio trifido, invo- 

 lucralibus sessilibus minutis inciso-serratis, caule bifioro, sepalis subnovenis 

 ovato-oblongis, carpidiis glabris, stylo tenui longo apice involuto." 



"Habitat in Brasilia, Sellow, Coll. PI. Bras., 891." 

 All I know of this plant is drawn from Pritzel's original descrip- 

 tion, and that of Eichler in Martius Flora Brasiliensis, xiii, part i, 

 153, t. 34, where the specimen contained in the Berlin Herbarium 

 is beautifully figured. As suggested by Eichler, the species is allied 

 to A. Antucensis, Poepp., but the engraving shows that it is clearly 

 distinct. 



23. Anemone Olazioviana, Urban. 

 A. Glazioviana, Urban., Linnsea, xliii, 255 (1880-1882). 



"Petiolis 15-22 cm. longis, inferne parce, superne sicut lamina magis hir- 

 tulo-pilosis, foliis ternatim sectis, foliolis 0.7-3 cm. longe petiolulatis late 

 rhombeis, lateralibus usque ^-§ longitudinis 2-partitis, intermedio ad ^~| 

 partem trifido, lobis obovato-rhombeis crenatis crenis apiculatis ; pedunculo 

 1-2 floro, involucro parvulo ; sepalis circa 10 glabris 3 cm. longis oblongo- 

 lanceolatis, ad basin unguiculario-angustatis ; staminibus partem 4 tam sepa- 

 lorum sequantibus, antlieris connectivo paullulum producto apiculatis ; car- 

 pidiis glabris, stylis mediocribus apice revolutis.

 culus secundarius obvius, sed nondum evolutus ; involucellum 2 foliolatum 

 basale cum involucro combinatum. — Flos sub antheri 6 cm. diametro ; sepala

 minentiis innixa ; ovaria ovato-oblonga in stylos iis nequilongos v. paullo 

 longiores fiexuosos tenues, apice stigmatoso circinnatim revolutos attenuata.
