var. Nathorstii Berlin 1. с p. 20. 



On herby slopes; rare. 



15— 40 ctm. high; with few flowers, the ground-leaves long- 

 scaped, all leaves bi- or tripartite, the segments trilobate, the lobes 

 linear with parallel edges. The segments of the lowest stem-leaf 

 of P* and 2°^ order often stalked and the lobes very long. The 

 whole plant especially towards the top hispid; the hairs compressed 

 and widely separated. Easily recognizable on account of the finely 

 divided leaves; still, distinct forms of transition to the main species 

 are found; some specimens taken late in autumn agree best with 

 the description of Berlin.
