As we are thus obliged to trust to the fidelity of a Japanese artist for the determination
of this species, it is impossible to say whether it has sufficient claims to be considered
distinct fi’om the Pitta Brachyura. (B. Bengalensis.)

The Plant is the Anemone Japonica. Its flower stems rise from a foot to eighteen
inches in height, and bear a profusion of blossoms.
The Creeper is the Heliophila Trifida—Trifid Suncress.
