 funde 3-5-partita, segmentis 1-3 lineas longis aaguste oblongis -vel linearibus. Pa-

 natis vel bipinnatis, scapis simplicilDus raoemosis, pedicellis fructiferis

Hab. In paludosis totius Himalayfe, et Tibetise occidentalis, supra 

 10,000 ped. ; in Tibet usque ad alt. 17,000 ped.— (M. Jun. Jul.) {v. u.) 

 DiSTEiB. Europa ! Asia ! et America ! arctica et alpina. 



Heria pnsilla, casspitoaa. 'Foliola rotundata, triloba vel fere tripartita, glabra, 

 subtus glauca. ScajA 3-6-iinciales, erecti, simpliciter racemosi. Bractea oblongee, 

 obtusae, membranaceffi, infima interdam subfoliacea triloba. Sepala ovata, meia- 

 branacea, pallida viridia, acutiuscula. Antheres mucronatEe. Achenia striata, demum 

 sublcevia, pedicellis longitudine valde variis, acbenio senualibus vel paullo brevioribus, 

 interdum vix uUis. 



Identical vritb tbe European plant. In luxuriant specimens from Sikkim tbe 

 scape is occasionally branched, and bears a small leaf at the point of ramification. 



15. T. Punduanum (Wall. Cat. 3712!); foliis biternatis (su- 

 perioribus ternatis), foliolis magnis rotundatis crenatis sub-5-lobis, 

 panicula terminali divaricato-ramosa fere aphylla, acheniis numerosis 

 oblongis sessilibus sulcatis stylo recto apice unoinato longe rostratis. — 

 Wall! Plant. As. Bar. ii. 26. 



Hab. In Himalayas jugis exterioribus : Kumaon (4500-7000 ped.). 

 Madden! Str. et Wint.!; et in montibus Khasia, alt. 3-4000 ped., 

 Wall..' efc.— (PI. Aug. Sept.) (v. v.) 



Herba erecta, bipedalis. Folia inferiora longe petiolata, bitemata ; media ssepe ir- 

 regulariter divisa, nempe ternata, segmento terminali simplici, lateralibas ternatis vel 

 bifoliatis. Fetioli basi aurieulati. Stipellce nullse. Foliola diametro 1-2-uncialia, 

 coriacea, rigida, nervosa, supra uitida, subtus glauca, glaberrima vel tomentosa. Se- 

 pala 4, elliptico-oblonga, nervosa. Filamenta filiformia. Anthera vix apiculatse. 

 Achenia glanduloso-pilosa vel glaberrima, stylo sequilongo rostrata. 



It is singular that this species, which occurs in Kumaon and Khasia, should not 

 have been met with in Nipal or Sikkim. The Kumaon specimens, vfhich we have 

 seen, are all glabrous ; but in the Khasia mountains both states occur, that with to- 

 mentose leaves being, however, more common. 



16. T. Dalzellii (Hook. Ic. Plant, t. 856 !); foliis teruatipartitis, 

 foliolis magnis orbiculato-reniformibus profunde cordatis crenato-lobatis 

 vel sub-5-lobis, panicula parva, floribus ad ramorum apices glomeratis, 

 acheniis numerosis brevissime pedicellatis oblongis sulcatis, stylo un- 

 cinato breviter rostratis. 



Hab. In montibus Siadri provinoise Concan, Bahell ! — {v. s.)
