According to Count Mussin Puskin^ a native of that part 

 of Georgia which is near the Caspian Sea. Mr. Marschall 

 of Bieberstein found it on Mount Caucasus, growing along 

 with the grandiflora of the same genus, from whici), he ob- 

 serves, it differs only by having the glands of the leaves 

 produced on a completely entire border, instead of at the 

 points of the teeth of a serrated border; and adds, that it 

 seems to be a mere variety of it, though, as well as Will- 

 denow, he records the two as specifically distinct in his work. 

 We do not see why this useful botanist has quoted La- 

 marck's Inula orientalise professedly adopted by that author 

 from Tournefort, as a synonym to his glandulosa, while he 

 adds the plant from Tournefort's own work as a synonym 

 to his grandijlora. This seems an oversight-
