Rootstock thin wiry, stems filiform 4—6 in.' cauline leaf solitary, short-petioled,

A very distinct species, of the same group as C. lovgipes which it resembles in

 branching; cauline leaves 1-3 scattered, unequally ternately divided, late- 

 ral segments sub-opposite arising close to stem long-petioluled and again 

 ternately divided, terminal very long-petioluled and a^ain twice ter- 

 nately divided with distinct secondary petiolules, ultimate segments 

 all 3-fid to -sect, lobules obovate acute, radical leaves vanishing ; 

 racemes lax-flowered, terminating slender branches, bracts large obovate 

 acute ; pedicels long ; sepals obliquely cordate acuminate subentire ; 

 outer petals shortly narrowly winged near tips, limb of upper broad ; 

 spur cylindric straight except at the obtuse slightly incurved tip, ^
