Our specimens of tbia and the last species are not sufficient to enable us to decide 

 to our own satisfaction whether or not they be distinct from one another, and even 

 from T. Punduanum, to which the form of the leaflets approximates them very 

 closely. 



4. ANEMONE, L. 



Flores involucrati. Sepala 5-15, petaloidea, sestivatione imbricata. 

 Petala nulla. Achenia mutica vel caudata, monosperma. — Heibse 

 acaules, radice perenni. 



Chiefly a northern genus, with a few species in the mountains of South America, 

 and several in South Africa. The Indian species are all confined to the mountains, 

 none occurring below BOOO feet, and are mostly alpine. There is also a single 

 species in Tasmania, and one in the mountains of the island of Sumatra. 



To the sections instituted by De Candolle we have added one characterized by 

 the small, remarkably woolly achenia. It includes A. sylvestris, L., A. Virginiana, 

 L., and many other European and American species, and appears to form a very 

 natural group.

Dense pilosa, pilis patentibus. Scapi floriferi i-pedales, fructiferi pedales. Pedi-

Tibetan specimens agree exactly with Siberian ones in everything but the colom- 

 of the flower, in which respect they are, as it were, intermediate between the two 

 varieties distinguished by Ledebour. Perhaps the species is only an alpine state of A. 

 pratensis, which appears to differ chiefly by being larger, with larger, deeper blue 

 flowers, a more deeply divided involucre, and more finely cut leaves.
