When not vigorous, the leaves have a tendency to be ternate. The 
petals are bluish lilac. The suberect habit of the bush attracted my 
attention, more especially as there seems little or no other indication 
of affinity with the Suberecti. — W. H. Purchas. 
Potentilla mixta , Nolte? Bradley, S. Derbyshire, 9th September, 
1889. — W. R. Linton. “Seems to be nearer P. procui?ibens , Sibth. 
than my idea of P. mixta , Nolte. P. mixta as I get it is a small 
plant having quinate stalked stem-leaves, stipules more or less trifid, 
petals small as in Tormentilia , always 4-merous, fruit slightly hispid, 
truly procumbent but not rooting and growing usually in barren 
stony places. Mr. Linton’s plant is more robust and has more of 
the character of P. procumbensP — J. E. Bagnall.
