and the root creeping ; or, no partial stipules and a fibrous root ; 
characterize the T. flavum and T. rufinerve of Koch's Synopsis, 
but these characters do not appear to be permanent, if indeed the 
fibrous rooted plant really exists. In the fens of Cambridgeshire 
the plant has an extensively creeping root and partial stipules. —

deep linear segments, 1. doubly pinnate, leaflets pinnatifid : lobes 
linear, carp, with feathery tails. — E. B. 51. — Fl. violet-purple, 
externally silky. Involucre silky, close to the flower, but, bv the 
elongation of the stalk, distant from the fruit. — Open chalky 
pastures. P. IV. V. Pasque flower. E.

white or purplish. Carp, with a beak of nearly their own length 
but not tailed. Root (rhizoma) horizontal. Sep. glabrous on

*3. A. upennina (L.) ; fl. solitary, sep. numerous lanceolate, 
involucre of 3 ternate stalked deeply cut leaves, 1. similar, "carp, 
pointed without tails."— E. B. 1062. 7J.4645.— Fl. bright blue.

—St. simple, leafless, single-flowered, 2 — 5 in. high. Receptacle 
very long, with numerous oblong carpels. L. linear. The seed 
being attached to the upper part of the carp, makes it pendulous 
with the radicle pointing upwards ; this difference from the true 
Ranunculi is only apparent, and is caused by the singular point
