 — Leaves twice-ternate, many-cleft ; fegments linear-wedge- 

 fhaped, acute. Involucral ones fimilar, ftalked, lefs com- 

 pound. Petals eight to ten, elliptic-oblong. Fruit ovate, 

 woolly. — Native of the alpine precipices of mount Baldus, 

 as well as of Switzerland, Dauphiny, Savoy, Auftria, the 

 Tyrol, &c., firft cultivated in England by Mr. Loddige, 

 in 1792. It flowers early in fummer. The root is long 

 and woody. Leaves firm and rather glaucous, fmooth, 

 like rue, but narrower ; their footjlalhs hairy, an inch and a 

 half long. Floiver-Jlalk hairy, ereft, three or four inches 

 high, with a large three-leaved involucrum below the 

 middle. Flotver white, rather larger than A. apennina, 

 with fewer and broader /f/a/j. Fruit the fize and fhape of 

 a fmall ftrawberry, with the reddifh beaks of its feeds kick- 

 ing out of the copious denfe mafs of tawny filky wool. 

 Receptacle perfeftly cyhndrical.

Leaves ternate ; leaflets in three, or five, deep, three- 

 lobed, notched, lanceolate, acute fegments. Involucral 

 ones fimilar, Walked, lefs compound. Pet.^ls fix, elliptical. 

 — Common in groves and thickets throughout Europe, 

 where A. apennina fcarcely occurs, flowering in fpring. 

 About the fize of that fpecies, with fome refemblance of 

 foliage ; but there is lefs difference between the leaflets of the 

 radical leaves and thofe of the ir\volucrum. The root alfo is 

 long and flender, not ovate. The Jlcwers are white, often 

 tinged with purple externally, formed of fix broad petals, 

 totally unlike apennina. The double variety is very elegant. 

 That with five deep lobes in each lenfet, occurs occafionally 

 in England as well as North America, and is evidently a 

 moft trifling variety, though Linnaeus, led perhaps by 

 Plukenet's bad figure, made it a fpecies.

 Ann. du Muf. v. 3. 249. t. 20. f. 3." De Cand. n. 25.— 

 " Leaves twice ternate ; leaflets fomewhat wedge-fliaped, 

 deeply three-toothed. Involucral leaves ftalked, ternate ; 

 lateral fegments divided. Petals five, oblong." — Defcribed 

 by De CandoUe, from Juflieu's herbarium, but the native 

 country of the plant is unknown. It is faid to be extremely 

 fimilar to A, nemorofa. The root is horizontal. Radical 

 leaves on long ftalks, whofe partial ftalks bear each three 

 nearly wedge-fliaped, cut, or toothed, leaflets. The lateral 

 leaflets of each involucral /fa/" being divided, give the appear- 

 ance of five leaflets in each. Flowers one or two to an 

 involucrum. Petals oblong, Barrow, elongated. De Cand,

27. A. lancifolia. Lanceolate-leaved Anemone. Purfh 

 n. 2. De Cand. n. 26. — Leaves all flalked, ternate ; leaf- 

 lets lanceolate, bluntly toothed. Petals five, ovate, acute. 

 — On high mountains in a boggy foil, in Pennfylvania and 

 Virginia, flowering from May to .July. Refembles A. nemo- 

 rofa, but \\\t flonuers are larger, of a clear white. Purjl}. 

 De CandoUe fays the leaves fcarcely differ from A. trifolia, 

 by v/hich we are led to fufpeft that Plukenet's t. 106. f. 3, 

 cited by Linnaeus and others for quinquefolia, with which it 

 does not well accord, may belong to the fpecies before us.

 (A. trifolia, flore albo ; Bauh. Hift. v. 3. 412. Alabaf- 

 trites, five Dentaria alba; Lob. Ic. 281.) Leaves and 

 involucrum ftalked, ternate ; leaflets of all ovate, acute, fer- 

 rated. Petals five or fix, elliptical, obtufe. — Native of 

 rather mountainous groves and thickets, in France, Pied- 

 mont, Tufcany, Carniola, Carinthia, and Siberia, flower- 

 ing in fpring. Gerarde appears to have cultivated this fpe- 

 cies, but we have never feen or heard of it in modern times. 

 The root is oblong, horizontal, fomewhat toothed. 

 Leaves two or three inches high, each of three leaflets, 

 about an inch long, with hairy ribs and edges. Stalk 

 about a fpan high, or more, angular, fmooth, bearing an 

 involucrum of three uniform ftalked leaves, hke the radical 

 ones, but rather larger ; the lateral leaflets very unequal at 

 their bafe ; the central one tapering into the faot/lali. Par- 

 tial Jloiuerflalk about the length of the ftalks of the invo- 

 lucrum, folitary, fimple, flender, hairy. Flotuer fcarcely 

 an inch broad. Petals from five to feven, white ; purplifli 

 underneath. 



29. A. minima. Leaft Anemone. De Cand. n. 28. — 



" Leaves Involucral ones ftalked, deeply three -cleft ; 



lobes ovate, pointed, ferrated externally and at the extre- 

 mity. Petals five, oval-oblong, obtufe." — Native of tlic 

 Allegany mountains in Virginia ; Palifot de Beauvois. Re- 

 markably tender and delicate, refembling A- trifolia, but 

 only one-third its fize. Root long, flender, horizontal, 

 fending out a few fibres. Radical leaves wanting in the fpe- 

 cimens. Stalk flender, round, fmooth, a finger's length. 

 Leaflets of the involucrum clofely downy ; the lateral ones 

 ftrongly ferrated at their outer margin, and from the middle 

 to the end at both margins. Partial flalh the length of the 

 involucrum, ereft, downy, fimple. Flo-wer fmall, white. 

 Petals fmooth, four lines long, and two broad. Stamens 

 half as long. Germens few, downy. De Cand.

 tures, throughout the north and middle of Europe, as well 

 as SibWia and part of Caucafus, br.t rare in England. 

 Mr. Hudfon found it in Kent and H^rtfordfliire ; and the 

 late Mr. Geo. Anderfon brought us fpecimens from near 

 Abbot's Langley, flowering early in April. The root is 

 flender, horizontal. Herbage not unlike A. neinorofa, but
