Hab. Canada. Lake Huron. Dr. Todd. About Quebec. Mrs. Skeppard. Mrs. Percival. — It is

 radiant. De CandoUe places the plant in a division of the Genus " Conpnbi non radiantes."

Hab. Lake Winipeg. Dr. Michardson. Di-ummond. — I quite agree with Dr. Torrey that this is a 

 distinct species from V. dentatum, distinguishable by its downy sharp leaves, and very short petioles.

 small shrub from two to four feet high, with glabrous, pale brown bark. Leaves about two inches long,
