Excerpt from Transactions of the New York Academy of Sciences, Late Lyceum of Natural History, Vol. 12: October, 1892, to June, 1893 I have seen the type of this plant in Michaux's Herbarium at the Jardin des Plantes, and it is clearly a common plant of the Eastern and Middle States and not at all the western species called hispidus by Hooker, which Michaux, in all probability, never saw, Dr. Gray's remarks (proc. Amer. Acad. Xxi. 375) to the contrary notwithstanding. It is an early - blooming woodland species, often flowering about New York as early as April 15th, and much before any of the other buttercups. It is not stoloniferous so far as I have Observed; the young stems are usually densely villous-pubescent but become glabrate or appressed-pubescent in age; the roots are numerous, thick and fleshy, the leaves are pinnately three-divided (very rarely pin hately five-divided), very pubescent, at least when young, the segments ovate, oblong or Obovate, nearly cuneate at the base, and sharply cleft and lobed; the flowers are a half inch to one and one half inches broad, with petals considerably longer than the Spreading sepals (usually twice as long) the head of fruit is usually somewhat longer than thick, though often globose; the achenes are nearly orbicular, lenticular, narrowly margined and, when mature, abruptly tipped by a subulate curved style of about one - half their length.
