H ab. Arctic Islands, frequent; from the Continent I have seen only one specimen, and that of gigantic
growth (a foot tall), from Bear Lake, gathered by Dr Richardson in his second journey. The “ P. hirsute?
of the former journey I refer to P. Lctngsdorffii (arctica, Br.). The present may be at once recognised by
the remarkable dilatation of the petiole, of which the rachis is an equally broad continuation ; and on this,
at the margins, are set the little segments, or rather pinnules, like the teeth on the broad snout of a sword-fish,
at regular distances. This character has not escaped the' notice of Wahlenberg. The flowers are smaller,
and much paler coloured than in the preceding.
19. P . flammea (Linn.); humilis, foliis praecipue radicalibus pinnatis pinnis ovatis
retro-imbricatisdentatis, calyce 5-fido (glabro, Stev.), spica brevi, corollas galea obtusissima

• Among the notes on the N. American species of Priimfaris, kindly communicated to me by Mr Bentham, and
from which I have greatly profited, is the character of a very. beantiM new. species, found by Mr Douglas in. North
California, with the flowers much resembling those of recutita :—*
P . (Edentata) densiflora (Benth.. mst.); erecta data, foliis amplis profunde pinnatifidis pinnatisectisve segmentis
ovnli-oblongis pinnatifidis, laciniis oblnngis inciso,dentntis, spica densa multiflorn, calyce imeqnsliter 5-dentato,
corollas galea recta obtusa antice hiante, labio minimo.
