2. A. alpina (L.) ; radical I. digitate : divisions 5 — 7 separated 
to their base oblong obtuse closely serrated at the end white and 
silky beneath, fl. in interrupted spikes of small lateral and ter- 
minal corymbs, st. slightly branched simple below. — E. B. 244.

spikes of small lateral and terminal corymbs, st. with numerous 
branches. — Bah. in Ann. Nat. Hist. x. 25. A. argentea (Don 
MSS.) not Lam. — Closely allied to A. alpina but usually much 
larger in all its parts and distinguished by its connected leaflets 
which are broader, more silky on the underside and so placed in 
the radical leaves that the 2 external ones almost if not quite touch 
each other so as to present the appearance of a peltate leaf; st.
