stouter plant, with broader and more numerous leaves, and larg-er and more spreading- panicles. The latter 

 is the H. scahrum of Dr. Darlington, and probably of Michaux and other authors. Pursh refers the H. 

 Marianum of Willd. to the present species, and correctly so, if 1 may judge hy Dr. Schweinitz* specimens. 

 I infer that our plant is the H. Marianum of Bigelow, for his description agrees with it, and Dr. Boott's 

 specimens, from Boston, compared with and named " H. Gronovii of Michaux's Herbarium," have also, for 

 synonym, H. Marianum, Willd.
