Hab. Canada; from Quebec to the St. Lawrence. MicJiaux, Plains of the Saskatchawan. Dr, JRichard- 

 soiiy Driunmond. — Of this plant I find only two or three specimens in the Collection, and these, on a hasty 

 glance, I confess I had been disposed to ming-le M'ith those of P. Norvegica. But I am now inclined to conctir 

 with Dr. Richardson in keeping thera distinct. The figure of Nestler, above quoted, is very faithful, and 

 the upright unbranched stems, with a few-flowered terminal panicle, are characteristic. [H.]

Kohlmeister is the correct spelling of this name, as I have lately ascertained; though it has been written Kol- 

 MASTKtt before in this work, and Colmaster in Pursh's Flora. This gentleman, the Rev. Benjamin Goti.eib 

 Kohlmeister, resided many years as a Moravian Missionary in Labrador, and made a beautiful collection of the plants, 

 with the use of which I have been obligingly favoured by the Rev. P. Latrobe.
