" Leaves ternate, 3-cleft, hairy, hairs close-pressed; extreme upper leaflets 

 lanceolate : stem entirely prostrate, creeping, zigzag ; petals obovate, sub- 

 retuse : calyx caducous; seed compressed, margined: beak hooked. Flowers 

 large, resembling those of the repens. In Oneida county, between Rome and 

 Oriskany, near the Erie canal, patches of ground, several yards in extent, 

 are often covered with this species The flowers are rarely elevated more than 

 8 or 10 inches above the ground, though the stem creeps more than a yard 

 from the root. I discovered this plant in the summer of 182L" Eaton bot. 



" Somewhat hairy; stems creeping and rooting at each of the joints; lower 

 leaves on long petioles, ternate; leaflets toothed and incised, cuneate, ter- 

 minal one petiolcd; floral leaves incised or linear; peduncle 1 -3-flowered; 

 petals rounded; calyx spreading; carpels margined, with a short uncinate 

 style. Banks of the canal, near Rome, Oneida county, N.Y. Much smaller 

 than R. repens, in all its parts except the flower, which is of a bright yellow 

 and about as large as that of R acris. Leaves seldom more than 1^ inches 

 in length, and about the same in breadth. Stems distinctly creeping like those 

 of R. reptans : flowering ones 6-8 inches high. Style short and hooked."
