part, about 3 inches long, two lower ones often dissected 
bidigitately, terminal one the broadest, cuneate at the lower 
part, not unfrequently trilobedly divided: petiole upright, 
nearly semicylindrical, lividly purple at the lower part, _ 
about six inches high, much longer than the blade. Stem 
scarcely eight inches high, flexuose, remotely subtrifoliate, 
of nearly the same thickness, colour, and substance as the 
petioles, furnished with leaves of almost the same form as 
the root-ones, only smaller, standing wide of the inflores-_ 
‘cence. Peduncles about two, terminal, racemosely flowered 
at the upper part; flowers several in a cyme pointing one 
way, longer than the close-pressedly hirsute pedicles. Calyx 
herbaceous, 5-parted, close-pressedly furred on the outside; 
‘segments linearly subulate, reflex to the base. Corolla 
whitish, about one fourth of an inch deep, oblongly campa- 
nulate, 5-cleft to below the middle; segments of the limb 
upright oblong obtuse, with a middle dorsal nerve; tube 
furnished at the inside with five prominently bordered longi- 
tudinal honeybearing furrows or channels placed alternately 
with the stamens. Filaments about twice the length of the 
corolla, equal, upright, filiform, hairy at the middle, in- 
serted at the base of the corolla: anthers oblong, brown, 
incumbent; pollen.cream-coloured. Germen roughly furred 
with upright hair, roundish: style white, filiform, stiff: ° 
stigmas 3 or 2, uprightly spreading, short, round, with 
frostedly roughened summits. 
The drawing was taken last summer from a plant which 
had been imported from America by Messrs. Frasers, of the 
Sloane Square nursery; and formed part of that yery ex- 
tensive collection of rare North American plants. |
