The Wood Anemone is from 4'--9' but seldom tailor, the five rounded sepals which form the llower are white, tinged with a pur- l)lisli-red or dull pink on the outside. The leaves are three parted, divided again in three, toothed and sharply cut and somewhat coarse in texture; the three upper stem leaves form an involucre about midway between the root and the flower-cup.

Douro, where also, we find the downy seeded species known as "Thimble-weed" Aneinone cylin- drica from the cylindrical heads of fruit, the "Thimble-weed" is not very attractive for beauty of colour; the flower is greenish-white, small, two of the sepals being shorter and less conspicuous than the others, the plant is from 1" 2° high the leaves of the cut and pointed involucre are coarse; of a dull green, surrounding the several long llower-stalks. The soft cottony seeds remain in close heads through the winter, till the spring breezes disperse Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Tr
