Drawn from a plant in the Nursery of Messrs. Fraser in 

 Sloane Square, It was brought over by one of the partners, 

 and entered in the annual Catalogue of the Nursery by the 

 name of andinum^ proposed by Mr. Nuttall, who had col- 

 lected the plant in Louisiana, where it is smd to be common 

 in moist situations in valleys and at the sides of rivulets 

 from Fort Mandan to the mountains. We are unable 

 to discover any available distinction between it and the well- 

 known philadelpfdcum. The flowers of the Louisianian 

 plant are perhaps larger, generally more numerous, of a 

 deeper colour, and the leaves rather shorter and broader. 

 We have thought it safer to keep the two under the same 

 specific title, assorting to each its particular synonymy 

 below the head of its variety.

 given by Messrs. Fursh and Nuttall to America, while in fact it does
