P. laciniata Willdenow

P.laciniata is like P.tenuifolia but taller and the segments broader—a mere variety."

1800 In Willdenow's edition of Linnaeus's Species Plantarum seven paeonies are described ; under P.officinalis he quotes Retzius and other botanists and includes P.foemina of Fuchs and Miller. Under P.corallina he quotes P.officinalis Linn., P.integra Murray, and P.mas Lobel and Besler. This seems to be the first time when P.officinalis of Linnaeus was restricted to P.foemina of the older botanists, and P.corallina to the P.officinalis of Linnaeus, P.corallina of Retzius and P.mas of the ancient botanists. P.albifiora, P.humilis, P.anomala, P.hybrida—" the bastard paeony " as he calls it, which he describes as a cross between P.tenuifolia and P.anomala—and P.tenuifolia are all described with their synonyms.

Willdenow enumerates the same plants in his Enumeratio plantarum Horti Berolinensis with the exception of P.hybrida, but he adds P.laciniata which he says is similar to P.tenuifolia but taller with broader foliage and tomentose carpels, giving its habitat as Siberia. This description only differs from his description of P.anomala by the tomentose carpels and the leaves which are described as " laciniis linearibus " instead of " lanceolatis." This may be the first reference to P.anomala var. Intermedia.

P.laciniata Willd. non Pallas is indicated as a doubtful species, possibly a mere variety of P.tenuifolia.
