inone: peduncles involucred, leaves digitate, multifid. 
Root perennial. A native of Siberia about Tobollki, and 
of Lower Lufatia. It was cultivated in 1759 by Miller. 
3. Anemone fulphurea: peduncle involucred; leaves 
< triply-pinnate, hairy, fiat, acutely-galhed, feeds tailed. 
Differs from the vernal in having fharper petals, yellow 
within. 
4. Anemone baldenfis : leaves biternate, fhag'gy. Un¬ 
known to latter writers. The fruit relembles that of the 
garden anemone. It grows wild about Aigle, &c. in 
Switzerland, Monte Baldo, Monte Cenis, &c. 
5. Anemone vernalis: peduncle involucred, leaves pin¬ 
nate, flowers eredt. Flower red without, white within; 
leaves approaching thofe of meadow-rue; Item half a foot 
high. When the flower is young it is white, with a blufh 
of purple on the outfide, where it is hairy: thefe hairs 
afterwards become yellow. It grows in the w'oods bor¬ 
dering on the mountains, in barren fands, in Sweden, Ger¬ 
many, and on the high Alps of Switzerland. 
6. Anemone cernua: peduncle involucred, leaves pin¬ 
nate, flowers nodding. Differs from the laft in the nod¬ 
ding of the flower, and in the leaves having more pinnas, 
finely cut. Thunberg found it in Japan near Jeddo, flow¬ 
ering early in fpring, 
7. Anemone pulfatilla, or pafque-flower: peduncle in- 
voiucred, petals ftraight, leaves bipinnate. This is acrid, 
and will raife bliffers; the diftilled water will vomit; it 
cannot therefore be fate to give it in difordersof the lungs. 
It grows wild on open hills in dry foils, in Sweden, Den¬ 
mark, Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany, Carniola, 
Siberia, See. and in England, on chalky downs; as Gog- 
magog-hills; Barnack-heath, near Stamford; about Lead- 
ftone-hall, near Pontefradl; near Charlbury, in Oxford- 
fhire; Lexharn, Bury, Newmarket, &c. flowering in April. 
It has the Italian name pulfatilla from the downy feed be¬ 
ing beaten about by the wind. There is a variety with 
double, and another with white, flow'ers. 
8. Anemone pratenfis, or meadow anemone: peduncle 
involucred, petals reflex at the tip, leaves bipinnate. The 
flower of this is lels than that of the former, and of a 
darker colour; it hangs down like that, but the tips of 
the petals are bent back. It is very common in the barren 
ftony fields of Oeland and Scania, alfo in Denmark, Ger¬ 
many, and Piedmont. The leaves-are fhorter, the fialks 
do not rife fo high, and the flowers do not expand fo wide, 
as in the former. 
9. Anemone Alpina, or Alpine anemone: flem-leaves 
ternate, connate, fuperdecompound, multifid; feeds fhag- 
gy, tailed. Flower almoft as big as a tulip, white, with a 
tinge of purple. It grows wild on the Alps, Jura, and in 
Autlria. 
10. Anemone apiifolia: flem-leaves ternate, connate, 
fuperdecompound, multifid, very flender, extremely hairy 
underneath. It has no fmell, and is a native of the I.e- 
cJntine Alps. It may be doubted whether this be really 
diftinct from the ninth lpecies. 
III. Anemones with a leafy ftern and tailed feeds. 11. 
Anemone coronaria, or narrow-leaved garden anemone: 
radical leaves ternatc-decompound, involucre leafy. It 
grotvs naturally in the Levant, particularly in the iflands 
of the Archipelago, where the borders of the fields are 
covered with it of all colours: but the flowers are Angle, 
though rendered double by culture. In France it was long 
cultivated, before it was much known in Holland or Eng¬ 
land. We find it however in our gardens fo early as 1596. 
Parkinfon, in 1629, fays that fome reckoned up thirty 
forts with Angle flowers, of which he mentions only the 
watchet or pale blue, the ordinary purple, and the fcarlet, 
with fome of their intermediate varieties. Of thofe with 
double flowers he gives twelve varieties : 1. Common dou¬ 
ble red or fcarlet. 2. Party-coloured crimfon. 3. Crim- 
fon velvet. 4. Great double blufh. 5. White. 6 . Lef- 
fer blulh. 7. Purple. 8. Blue. 9. Rofe-coloured. 10. 
Carnation, n. Purple velvet. 12. Purple velvet of 
three colours, He obferves, that the art of railing them 
ONE. 
from feed was not then familiarly known to out nation, 
although it was very frequent in the Low Countries; and 
he gives directions for that purpofe. Mr. Ray, in his his¬ 
tory, enumerates near three hundred varieties of this and 
the broad-leaved fort. Mr. Rea, in his Flora or Complete 
Florilege, lpecifies the following varieties of the narrow- 
leaved, or foft-leaved, anemone, as it was called by the 
Walloons, who brought them over out of France and 
Flanders to fell: 1. Common double red. 2. Variable. 
3. Elegant red. 4. Scarlet. 5. Variegated fcarlet. 6. 
White with a fcarlet thrum. 7. Nacara or yellow.ifh fcar¬ 
let. 8. Double brimftone. 9. Green. 10. Great white. 
1 r. Greateft or white of Bourdeaux. 12. Blufli, called 
columbina. 13. Rofe-coloured. 14. Variegated rofe. 15. 
Spotted blufh. 16. Purple. 17. Lavender-coloured. 18. 
Bine. 19. White with a purple thrum or plufh, called 
perfeEl in beauty. 20. Red with a dark or murrey purple 
thrum, called amarant. 21. Variegated amarant. 22. 
Five-coloured. 23. Dark purple ftriped with white. Be- 
fides thefe, he gives a lift of feventy-four varieties railed 
from feed in France and Flanders, all fine, different, and 
many rare: and another, mandated out of French, by the 
accomplifhed Sir Thomas Hanmer, containing forty-feveu 
forts. The catalogues of our modern feedfmen haveufu- 
ally about 150 or 200. The principal colours in anemo¬ 
nes, according to Mr. Miller, are white, red, blue, and 
purple; and thefe in fome are ctirioufly intermixed: but 
the moft prevailing colours amongft our Englifli-raifed 
anemonies are white and red; though we have received 
from France great variety of blues and purples, which 
are exceeding fine flowers, and being intermixed with thofe 
of Englifh growth, make a beautiful variety. The plain 
colours in the modern catalogues are, red, crimfon, rofe- 
coloured, purple, lilac, clear and pale blue, afh-coloured, 
and white. The principal variegated ones are, red and 
white ftriped, rofe and white, blue and white, red white 
and purple: but there are innumerable fhades of thefe 
and the other colours. A double anemone, in order to 
be a fine one, fhould have a ftrong upright ftem, about 
nine inches high; the flower fhould be from two to near 
three inches in diameter, the outer petals fhould be firm, 
horizontal except that they turn up a little at the end, 
and the fmaller petals within thefe fhould lie over each 
other gracefully, fo as to form an elegant whole. The 
plain colours fhould be brilliant and ftriking; the varie¬ 
gated ones fhould be clear and diftindt. 
12. Anemone hortenfis, or broad-leaved garden ane¬ 
mone : leaves digitate, feeds woolly. Broad-leaved gar¬ 
den anemone; or hard-leaved anemone, as it was formerly 
called by the Walloons who imported the roots; or Jiar 
anemone, as the Angle varieties are fometimes named : is 
found wild, with Angle flowers, in Italy, Provence, and 
Germany. Clufius difeovered it near the Rhine, with 
red, and with purple, flowers; Ray alfo remarked it with 
thefe colours, in many parts of Italy; and Haller in Swit¬ 
zerland. Clufius found it with white flowers in Germa¬ 
ny ; and it has been feen of the fame colour in Auftria. 
Parkinfon enumerates feveral varieties of this alfo, both 
with Angle and double flowers: as Angle and double yel¬ 
low ; purple ftarre anemone, darker and paler; violet pur¬ 
ple; purple ftriped ; carnation; gredeline, between a peach- 
colour and a violet; cochenille, of a fine reddifh violet or 
purple ; cardinal, of a rich crimfon red; blood-red, of a 
deeper, but not fo lively, a red; crimfon; ftamell, near 
unto a fcarlet; incarnadine, of a fine delayed red or flelh- 
colour; Spanifh incarnate, of a lively flefh-colour, fha- 
dowed with yellow; blufh, of a fair whitifh red; nut- 
megge, of a dark whitifh colour, ftriped with veins of a 
blufh-colour; monk’s-gray, pale whitifh tending to a gray, 
fucli as the monks and friers were wont to wear with us; 
great orenge tawnie ; lefler orenge tawnie. Of double 
flowers the moft remarkable are, the great double ane¬ 
mone of Conftantinople, or Spanifh marigold; great dou¬ 
ble orenge tawnie; double anemone of Cyprus; double 
Perfian anemone. Rea mentions, the common great dou-
