Thalictrum foliolosum : " Peela-juree," " Yellow-root ;" exported to 

 the plains as " Momeeree," where a larger kind, called " Momeera" is 

 said to be brought from Persia, &c. Dr. Royle inclines to believe T. 

 foliolosum to be the male plant of T. neurocarpum ; were it so, they 

 would be truly diaecious, for the first flourishes from 3000 to 7000 

 feet, the second from 8000 to 10,000 feet above the sea, and flowers 

 much later. But in fact the first, as noticed in Don's Prodromus, pro- 

 duces abundance of fertile flowers chiefly in July and August, with 

 generally four carpels.

 of Kumaoon, common on crags at from 6000 to 8000 feet elevation.
