TORMENTILLA. Tormentil. 
The cup is monophyllous, plain, lightly cut into eight 
fecnnents, alternately Ids and acute. The four petals are 
obcordate, plain, patent, inferred into the cup by means 
of ungues. There are fixteen fubulated filaments fhort- 
er by half than the corolla, inferred into the cup, with 
fimple antherae. There are eight imall germina, conni- 
ventinto afmali head with fiender ftyles the length of 
the itamina, inferred into the fides of the germina, having 
obtule ftigmata. The receptacle of the feed is very 
fmall and loaded therewith, being included in a cup, 
eight in number, oblong and obtulely acuminated. 
Obf. Tormentilla only differs from the Fotentilla in the

the length of the cup into which they are inferred, hav- 
ing fliort, broadifti, obtufe antherae. The germina are 
numerous andcolleded into a little head, and the ftyies 
which are hairy and long are inferred into the fide of the 
germen. The common receptacle of the feed is oblong, 
rough and placed upon a reftex cup, containing numer- 
ous, compreffed, hifpid feeds with the ftyle which is
