Hab. Canada. Pursh, Saskatchawan. Drummond. — The Genus Lyonia is distinguished by Mr. Nuttall 

 from Andromeda by the 5 valves of the capsule being closed by 5 other, and marginal narrow ones. But 

 these narrow marginal ones appear to be only a parenchymatous substance filling up the spaces formed by 

 the introflexion of the true valves, and generally falling away when the capsules have burst; but not unfre- 

 quently remaining attached to one or other of the valves. Dr. Torrey informs us that Mr. Nuttall himself 

 now hardly considers the Genus tenable.

Hab. Labrador. Sir Jos, Banks, Kohlmeister. Dr. Morrison, — It is not certain that this is found any 

 where in North America^ except Labrador. In the alpine interior its place is taken by other allied and 

 equally beautiful species. On the N.W. Coast, Chamissoonly detected 3/. ^/fw/icct, which is, perhaps, ihe one 

 seen by Steller, whom Pallas mentions as having found AT. ccerulea " on the islands and continent of Ame- 

 rica, opposite Kamtsckatka,"
