6.— POTENTILLA LUPINOIDES, Wiltd. THE LUPINE-LIKE POTENTILLA. 
SvNONYMES. — P. nivalis, Pers. ; P. raldenia, Vill. ; P. lanata, 
Lam. ; P. integrifolia, Lapeyr. 
Engraving. — Lodd. Bot. Cab. t. 654. 
Specific Character. — Stem erect, pilose. Leaves with five or 
seven leaflets ; leaflets obovate, roundish, obtuse, connivently serrated 
at the apex, densely clothed with silky villi. Stipules large, entire. 
Petals obcordate, shorter than the calyx. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c. — This species has white flowers, which are produced three or six together at the extremity 
of the branches. It is a native of the mountains of Dauphiny and the P)Tenees, whence it was introduced 
in 1739. 
G.— POTENTILLA COLORATA, Lehm. THE COLOURED POTENTILLA. 
SyNONYMES. — P. Nepaulensis, Hook. ; P. formosa, D. Don. i leaflets. Leaflets serrated, and beset vrith silky incumbent pili. 
Specific Character. — Stems erect, purple. Lower leaves quinate, Stipules ovate, quite entire, sheathing. Petals obcordate, veiny, 
with obovate lanceolate leaflets ; upper leaves temate, with lanceolate longer than the calyx. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c. — The petals of this species are of a beautiful and brilliant rose-colour. It is a native 
of Nepaul, whence it was introduced in 1822.

form, coarsely-toothed, hairy on both suifaces ; calycine segments 
ovate, acuminated ; petals obcordate, imbricated, longer than the calyx. 
(G. Don.) 
Engravings. — Swt. Brit. Flow. Gard., 2d ser. t. 61 ; Bot. Reg. t. 
1833; and out Jig. 1 in Plate 38. 
Specific Chahacter Stems ascending, clothed with villi ; lower 
leaves with 5 — 6 leaflets, upper one temate ; leaflets oblong cunei- 
Description, &c. — This very beautiful plant is a hybrid, raised by a nurseryman at Twickenham about the 
year 1830, between P. formosa and P. erecta : and it possesses tlie different colours of its two parents, both 
bright and clear, and yet beautifully softened into each other. This hybrid is quite hardy, and will grow in 
any common garden soil, though it thrives best in a warm climate, provided it has abundance of air. It is 
propagated by dividing the root. The flowers are generally much larger than those we have figured. 
8.— POTENTILLA RUSSELLIANA, Sweet. RUSSELL'S CINQUEFOIL. 
EnoRAViNO.— Swt. Brit. Flow. Gard. t. 279. 
Specific Character. — Villous; stems branched, diffuse; radical 
leaves petiolate, temate, quaternate, or quinate ; leaflets ovate or 
obovate, obtuse, deeply serrated, feather-nerved, rather silky beneath; 
stipules adnate, ovate lanceolate, acuminated ; calycine segments 
lanceolate, acute; petals large, obcordate. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c. — A very handsome hybrid, raised between P. formosa, with rose-coloured flowers, and 
P. atropurpurea, with dark crimson flowers. The petals are a bright scarlet, with a dark spot at the base. 
This plant was raised about 1827, by Mr. Russell, a nurseryman at Battersea. It is quite hardy ; and it is 
propagated by division of the root. 
9.— POTENTILLA MACKAYANA, Swt. MACKAY'S CINQUEFOIL. 
Engraving. — Swt. Brit. Flow. Gard., 2d ser. t. 42. bluntly toothed ; cauline leaves ternate, few-toothed ; stipules ovate, 
Specific Character. — Villous ; stems ascending, branched ; leaves 
flaccid, radical ones quinate ; leaflets oblong-cuneated, coarsely and 
acute, quite entire ; petals obcordate, undulated, a little longer than 
the calyx. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c. — This is another hybrid raised by Mr. Mackay, a nurseryman at Clapton, between 
P. formosa, which has rose-coloured flowers, and P. opaca, which has yellow flowers. In P. Mackayana, the 
colours are not mixed so as to make a more beautiful tint, as in P. Rustelliana ; nor softened into each other, as 
in P. Hopwoodiana ; but the petals are yellow, each with a little spot of red at the base.
