Had. Alpine woods north of the Smoking^ Riycr, in lat. 56°. Drummond. — This plant, which does 

 not appeal' to be known to any of the Itving^ American Botanists, seems nevertbek'ss to have an exten- 

 sive range, being found in Pennsylvania by Muhlenberg, according to Pursh, and on the high mountains of 

 Virginia and Carolina by Michaux, according to Pursh and Dr. Sims, for Michaux's Flora gives no station. 

 It has been cultivated in the English Gardens, and the Botanical Magazine exhibits an excellent represen- 

 tation of our plant. The constantly obovate, more membranaceous leaves, glaucous beneath, the comijara- 

 tively obsolete glands and hairs, and the different shape of the corolla, will surely abundantly distiniruisli 

 this species from the true M. feniiginea, which is, besides, exclusively a native of the shores of the Pacific. 

 The latter becomes ahnost black when dry; the former remains of a delicate green.
