We do not trace our plant in any published species, and 
have ranked it іп Вогулвша with some hesitation. The 
technical character of that genus expresses a calyx with a 
tooth between each of the 4 segments, and a polyspermous 
bilocular germen; in this there were no intervening calycine 
teeth, and though the germen seemed bilocular it did not 
appear to be polyspermous; but our view of it was 
transient, and we may have mistaken the receptacle of the 
ovula for a single ovulum, and missed the true ones; for we 
thought the loculaments monospermous. Тһе leaves are 
here by pairs, instead of by threes as in triphylla. 
The drawing was made from a plant at Messrs. Whitley, 
Brames, and Milne's nursery at Fulham, where we were 
informed that it had been received from a collection at 
Ghent, under the name of Нооѕтоміал alba, without any
