Larger. Stems stouter, ascending, then prostrate. Leaves 

 deep green, elongato-petiolate (attaining 12 cm. or more long 

 in the radical ones), 3-divided, the lateral segments sometimes 

 again 2-diYided ; segments ovate, broadly ovate, elliptical, 

 broadly obovate, 5| cm. or less long, 3 cm. or le.ss wide. 

 Flower larger, with an elongato-pedicel (which is usually longer 

 than the leaves, and attaining 15 cm. or more long in fruit), 

 nearly 2-2icm. across; bracteoles broadly obovate, 3- or 5-fid 

 with short-ovato-dcltoid acute-tipped lobes, nervate, deep-green, 

 7-11 mm, long, 5-10 mm. broad. Calyx-segments ovato- 

 oblong, subabruptly short-acuminate at the apex, deep-green, 

 hardly shorter than the bracteoles. Petals 5, distant each 

 other, obovato-oblong, not broadly obovate, sessile and 

 rounded-obtuse at the base, retuso-rounded at the apex, 

 slightly longer than the calyx-segments, 7-9 mm. long, 4-51 

 mm. broad. Fruiting receptacle larger, attaining about 2cm. 

 across, with persistent calyx-segments and more or less accres- 

 cent bracteoles. Achenes smooth or sub-tuberculatc.

Not uncommon. It grows on the hill-side and wood-side, 

 and it is more robust than the type, with the deep green 

 leaves, bracteoles, and calyx; also the form of the petals differs 

 from that of the type. Potentilla triMa Lehm.=P. fragarise- 

 foUa Klotzsch seems to me to be very closely allied to my 

 variety; if it is the same, that name of'the variety should be 

 altered into var. fragriaefolia (Klotzsch).
