2. Capethia Weddellii, n. sp. 



Leaves ovate, abruptly contracted into the petiole ; scape nearly as long as 

 the leaves, bracted at about the middle ; flower smaller ; head of fruit globose, 

 about 8 mm. in diameter ; achenia obliquely ovoid, pubescent ; style slender, 

 straight, deflected, inserted below the apex. 



This plant is figured by Weddell (Chlor. And., ii, t. 83, f. A, 5, 

 6, 7) as u Anemone integrifolia, j8. petiolis scapisque magis elonga- 

 tis, floribus parvis." I think it must be specifically distinct, but, 

 although I examined the Anemones of the Paris Herbarium I took 

 no note of it, and Weddell does not say where it was collected. It 

 is probably Peruvian.
