not belong to tliat quarter of the globe, LiLlUM angustifolium Jlore rubro 

 mtgulari of the Natural History of Carolina was described and figured from 

 a plant in Mn Peter Collinson's garden at Peckham, and being conceived in 

 the recollection of Catesby to be the same with one he had seen in Ame- 

 rica, was published by him in the above History as such. A sample of that 

 Slant from the same garden is also preserved in the Baiiksian Herbarium, 

 lany years after, it was published by ourselves in Curtis's Magazine 

 (No. 872), under the title of L, pensylvanicum^ upon this authority; but 

 having subsequently detected the miskdte, we corrected it in No. 1210 

 (over-leaf) of the same work ; where we republished the species by the 

 name of L. dauricumt having ascertained its Siberian origin from native 

 samples in the Lambertian Herbarium. This emendation however having 

 been overlooked in the works of Messrs. Pursh and Nuttall, as well as in 

 the Hortus Kewensis, it may not be useless to restate the whole correction. 

 The species Catesby mistook it for was probably LiLlUM Catesbm^ if not 

 pkHadelphicum.

Mr, Nuttall seems to have been puzzled in adopting the plant as Ameri- 

 can; and suggests the possibility of its being a hybrid produced during cul- 

 ture, because of its occasionally wanting the pistil in our gardens; an eft'ect 

 more probably of luxuriance^ as the pistil is usually perfect with us and fre- 

 quently feitile. The species is, in feet, very close to bulbiferum, but we 

 beUeve it nevertheless to be truly distinct.
