Scapes many, radical, one-flowered. D C.-Name from the liver; owing to a fancied resemblance in the lobes of the leaf to those of that organ. CULTURE. The Hepaticas flourish most luxuriantly in rather a light, rich soil, they do not like too frequent a removal, but when the clumps are become large, they will bear dividing, by cutting through the crown and roots into about four equal parts, and if this is performed in the autumn, each portion will flower freely the following spring, and make a strong plant again. Since Mr. Curtis figured this variety, our gardens are more abundantly supplied with the varieties which he enumerates as scarce, both the double blue and single white being now common. The double white, which Mr. Curtis seems to surmise may be in existence, is not known yet in this country; but two single whites are cultivated, the one a French white, with red anthers, the other a snowy white, 1. H. TRILOBA (three-lobed Hepatica); leaves reniform threelobed, its lobes entire broadly ovate, petioles and scapes somewhat hairy. D C. (TAB. XXVI.) Vill. Delph. v. 1. p. 336. De Cand.
