17. P. corallina, Retz., Obs. iii., 34; Anders., Monogr., No. 6 ; DC, Prodr., i., 65 ; Reich., Ic. Germ., tab. ia8, fig. 4745; Engl, Bot., tab. 1513, 3d edit., t. 50. P. mascula, Miller, Gard. Dict., edit. vi.. No. i.— Tubers of the root fusiform.  Stem 3—3 feet long, glabrous, never more than 1-headed. Leaves 5—6 to a stem, glabrous on both sides, moderately firm in texture, dark green above, pale green beneath, the lower simply biternate, with nine distinct oblong acute segments, the side ones 1—1 ½ inch broad, the end one sometimes 3 inches broad, and reaching a length of 3—4 inches. Peduncle short, so that the flowers do not much overtop the leaves. Outer sepals foliaceous, lanceolate, simple inner obtuse.   Petals 6—8, obovate or suborbicular 2—3 inches long, crimson or rose-red. Follicles 3—4 rarely 5. spreading from the base when fully mature decurved, densely villose, it inch long; stigma small scarlet, folded together, recurved. Spread as a wild plant across Europe from France to Asia Minor. Not so well known in gardens as P. officinalis. In company with Russi and triternata it may be known from all the other species by its leaves, the segments of which, casual exceptions apart, are quite distinct from one another at the base, and nine in number in the fully developed lower leaves.
