probably something else. We have, however, nothing more 
like it from Mr. Douglas. 
The Mitella, pentandra of the Botanical Magazine is 
rightly determined by M. Decandolle to be a distinct genus, 
to which he has given the appropriate name of Drum- 
mondia, in compliment to one of the best collectors and 
most deserving individuals of the age. 
A perennial, stemless, evergreen, cespitose, herbaceous 
plant. Leaves roundish-cordate, acutely crenate, somewhat 
5-lobed, more or less hairy, on long footstalks ; petioles 
villous; stem-leaves 3-lobed, cut. Stem erect, a foot and 
a half high, somewhat hairy at the base, above minutely 
glandular, as are all parts of the inflorescence.  Panicle 
loose, elongated. Bracteole subulate. Calyx inversely 
conical, half superior, 5-toothed, slightly oblique. Petals 
minute, linear-lanceolate, unguiculate, entire. Stamens 5, 
exserted, opposite the teeth of the calyx.
