236 American Species of the Genus Anemone. 



3. Barneoudia Domeykoana, Leybold. 



Barneoudia Domeykoana, Leybold, Ann. Univ., 1858, 159, et Flora, xlii, 242 

 (1859). 



" Rhizomate tuberculoso ; scape glabro ; foliis longe petiolatis, glabris, tri- 

 partitis lobis obtusato spathulatis, integris vel obtuse 1-3-dentatis ; involucro 

 5-6 lobato, flore densissime approximate, externe glaberrimo, interne basin 

 versus sericeo-tomentoso ; lobulis lanceolato-obovatis obtusis integerrimis vel 

 subrepandis ; sepalis petaloidis, lineari-obovatis, obtusis ; filamentis lineari- 

 bus ; capsulis plurimus cylindricis, e basi longe-sericeis, apice stylo persistente 

 filiformi arcuato coronatis." 



Distrib. Chili. In grassy places on the higher Cordillera, bloom- 

 ing at the melting of snow in the latter part of November. Dis- 

 covered on the Cerro Colorado, in the valley of Mapocho, at an 

 altitude of about 10,000 feet. 



Not seen by me. 



4. Barneoudia Balliana, n. sp. 



15-20 cm. bigb, fleshy, the involucral leaf 3-7-lobed, very thick, 6-7 cm. 

 wide, the lobes rounded or obtuse, obovate, densely and finely appressed- 

 pubescent on the upper surface. U B. major, Phil., differs in having the fruit 

 covered with silky hairs." 



The specimen on which this species is based is in the Kew Her- 

 barium, derived from the herbarium of the late John Ball. No 

 flowers nor fruit remain upon it, but from the note by Mr. Ball, 

 above quoted, he appears to have seen the fruit. The plant has a 

 decidedly different aspect from B. major. It is labelled Anemone 

 crassifolia, Hieron., but I cannot find that it has been published. 

 At all events there is already an Anemone crassifolia, Hook., from 

 Tasmania (Ic. PL, t. 257). 



Distrib. Argentine Republic : Sierra Famentina, Prov. de la 

 Rioja (Hieronymus).
