of some of the Orosr, but have odd paired leaflets, while 
those of the Oronr have even paired leaflets. 
The specimen from which the drawing has been made, 
Was sent us by Mr. Biggs, the curator of the Botanic Gar- 
den at Cambridge. The plant is far from common in ou: 
collections; though we believe quite hardy. Flowers from 
June to August. Said by Mr. Marschal von Bieberstein, to 
be abundant in the forests of the subalpine regions of Mount- 
Caucasus.
