erect, villose. Basal leaves broadly ovate in outline, trisect or biternately divided with the
primary segments more or less distinctly petiolulate; divisions cleft and crenate or serrate,
often over-lapping; blade and petiole silky with long hairs or densely villous, rarely with
scanty indumentum. Flowers umbellate, more raxely solitary. Involucral leaves 3, whorled,
sessile, tripariite aud incised. Sepals 5, 5—18 mm. long, white, or pale blue, or white inside
