45, A. umbeUata. Fringed Umbellate Anemone. Willd. 

 »i. 28. De Cand. n. 42. (A. fafciculata ; Vahl Symb. 

 V. 3, 74, excluding the fynonym. Ranunculus orientalis, 

 napelli folio lanuginofo, flora albo ; Tourn. Cor. 20.) — 

 " Radical leaves in three or fi^e, very deep, three-cleft, en- 

 tire, denfely fringed fegments. Flowers umbellate. — Ga- 

 thered by Tournefort, on the mountains of Cappadocia. 

 De CandoUe, who examined his original fpecimens, defcribes 

 tlie radical leaves as confifting of numerous deep fegments, 

 ■wliich are three -cleft, acute, with entire lobes, wiiofe mar- 

 gins are denfely fringed, vnxh very long, white, clofe-prefled 

 hairs, fuch as occur on the footjlaihs, fcarcely two inches in 

 length. Flo-wer-ftali a palm in height, with fimilar, but 

 more fcattered, hairs. Invohicral leaves deeply three-cleft ; 

 their lobes entire, chiefly haiiy at the edges. Partial Jlalhs 

 two or three, fimple, longer than the involucrum. Petals 

 live, wliite, oval, obtufe, externally hairj-. We have Si- 

 berian fpecimens, probably fuch as M. Patrin communicated 

 to De Candolle. Thefe anfwer to his defcription of the 

 hairy-edged leaves, but feem to us not fpecifically diftinft 

 from narciffijlora, with which they agree in fize, and in cer- 

 tain pale glands, between the fegments of the leaves, pecu- 

 liarly vifible in thefe Siberian fpecimens, though not noticed 

 by authors in any. We fufpeft that thefe fpecimens may 

 prove the identity of A. umbellata and narc'iffiflora. 



44. A.. Jibirha. Siberian Tawny Anemone. Linn. Sp. 

 PI. 763. DeCand. n.43. Will'd. n. 13. (A. n. 41 ; 

 Gmel. Sib. v. 4. 199.) — Leaves deeply three-lobed ; lobes 

 wedge-fliaped, in many deep, linear-oblong, bluntifh, fringed 

 fegments. Involucral ones fimilar, on (hort llalks, partly 

 notched. Flower fohtary. Petals fix, orbiculai-. Germens 

 fmooth. — Native of Siberia, from the river Yenifley to the 

 country beyond the lake Baikal. Cmelin. That author 

 fays not a word more concerning tte plant in queftion. 

 One of his fpecimens is in the Linnasan herbarium, and ap- 

 pears evidently allied, in the general nature of its foliage, as 

 well as the fmooth germens, to the two laft-defcribed. The 

 footjlalks and the Jlovjer-Jlalk, which is only four inches 

 high, bear many, long, fcattered, fpreading, tawny hairs. 

 The Jloiver is an inch and a quarter broad, ^vith orbicular 

 fpreading petals, longer than the involucrum, and, as far as 

 can be judged from a plant fo long dried, they appear to 

 have been yellow, or orange-coloured, refembling a Trollius.

45. A. Walter!. Walterian Anemone. Purfh n. 5. De 

 Cand. n. 44. (Thaliftrum caroliniaruim ; Walt. Carol. 

 3 j7.) — " Radical leaves palmate, on long ftaiks. Flower- 

 ftalk radical, ereft, long, Cngle-flowered. Petals five. 

 Root tuberous and fibrous." Walter. — Native of Carohna. 

 Mr. Purlh never found this plant, nor could he meet with a 

 fpecimen in Mr. Walter's herbarium ; but he confidered it 

 as more probably belonging to jinemone than to ThaliUnim. 

 Profeflbr De Candolle fufpefts it may prove akin to A. 

 parviftora, n. 18. 



46. A. pedata. Pedate Anemone. " Rafinefque Schmaltz

 Stalk fingle-flowered, fhort. Petals fix." — Native of New 

 Jerfey. Raf. Schm.

ANEURISM. Subfequently to the period when the 

 article Aneurism was inferted in the early part of this 

 Cyclopxdia, many new and valuable obfervations have been 

 made upon the fubjeft ; and the fuccefs of operations for the 

 cure of the difeafe has -been proved in a manner which has 

 furpafled the expeftations of the moft fanguine. The firft 

 grand improvement in this branch of operative furgerj* was 

 unqueftionably that of not opening the tumour itfelf, but 

 cutting down to the veflel at a certain diftance from the 

 difeafe, and there applying the ligature fo as to impede the 

 flow of blood into the aneurifmal fac. The removal of the 

 fwelling was then left to the gentle and gradual aftion of the 

 lymphatics ; a procefs infinitely fafer than the violent and 

 painful proceeding of laying open the large tumour with a 

 kaife, extrafting the coagulated blood, and leaving an ample 

 ca^ty to fuppurate. But thefe were not the only objeftions 

 to the old method of operating ; for the fac was opened, 

 and the artery tied in a fituation where its coats were 

 aftually in a difeafcd ftate. Hence the ligatures n-.oftly 

 failed in their effeft ; the veflel did not undergo favourably
