POLYANDRIA POLYGYNIA 
The Ranunculi of the U. States still require further examination. I have 
specimens from Milledgeville, in Georgia, which I can refer to no other 
described species, yet they differ from the above description, by having 
the corolla twice as long as the calyx, and the seed slightly hooked at the 
summit. 
Grows in the upper districts of Carolina and Georgia. 
Flowers in the Summer.
