axillary ped. or from the nodes, mostly pentamerous ; pet. 5, not 
seldom 6, never 4, obcordate with a short but distinct claw ; sep. 
10-12 ; car-pels “ tuberculate ” or “ granulate.” — Linn. Sp. 714 ; Till.

reg. 1, r. Road and roadsides at S. Vicente a little below D a Vi- 
cenzia’s Quinta, sparingly ; abundantly on banks and by roadsides 
at Lugar Debaixo and Fajaa d’Ovelha below the church on the S. 
coast W. of Funchal. April, May 1862, 1863. — Precisely the com- 
mon English pi. Root strong blackish running deep and wide 
amongst the stones. St. 1-2 ft. long slender mostly simple ’rooting 
from the beginning at the joints. L. on long slender petioles, dark 
gr., the 2 outer lfts. combined on one short common petiolule. FI. 
6-8 lines in diam. full bright-y., produced singly from the nodes or 
axils all along the stoloniferous weak or wiry st., which with the pe- 
tioles (often 4 or 5 in. long), are mostly red or purplish. 
I still think it more probable that P. replans of Buch’s List was 
rather the universal P. procumbens Sibth. (T. reptans L.) than the 
present rare and local sp., the true P. reptans L. 
In consequence of the discovery of P. reptans L., it may be well 
to subjoin a more full and amended character of the Madeiran 
P. procumbens Sibth. 
More or less hairy and shining ; st. flagelliform and often pro- 
strate or procumbent but not rooting at the nodes or stoloniferous 
till late in the season, sometimes diffusely suberect ; stip. simple en- 
tire or 2-5-cleft ; st.-l. shortly petiolate, lfts. 3-5, mostly 3, obovate- 
wedgeshaped deeply and coarsely or strongly and sharply cut-toothed 
above the middle, the teeth very acute and pointing forwards ; Jl. 
suhterminal on long erect slender ped. in irregular few-fld. leafy 
cymes (about 6 lines in diam.) mostly tetramerous ; pet. 4, very 
rarely 5, obcordate with scarcely any claw, sep. 8, very rarely 10 ; 
carp, obliquely 3-4-ribbed or wrinkled on each side. 
Of the syn. quoted at p. 245 for the above Mad. pi., the following 
are referred by Boreau 1. c. to his P. nemoralis Nestl. (of which he 
considers also P. mixta Nolte a mere form) : viz. P. nemoralis 
Nestl. Mon. Pot. 65 “(for the greater part) ” and P. procumbens 
Koch 239 “ and Auct. excl. syn. Sibth. and Linn.” 
P. Tormentilla Sibth., Nestl. ( Tormentilla erecta L., T. offici- 
nalis Sm. EB. t. 863) may possibly have been overlooked in Mad. 
It is mainly distinguished from P. procumbens by its more erect or 
diffusely spreading st., perfectly sessile st.-l., much smaller always 
4-merous not at all cymose fl. about 4 lines in diam., and smooth 
even carpels.
