Hab, Canada (PA.) to the Saskatchawan. Drummond, — This is the only Ash noticed in the Boston 

 Flora of Dr. Bigelow : but I have seen no specimens from Canada exactly according with Pursh's descrip- 

 tion, that is, haying the leaflets entire, shining, and glaucous beneath. Some of the leaves are deeply serrated.

Hab. Canada. Lake Huron. Dr, Todd. — Michaux seems to have misled some of the American Bota- 

 nists by describing the underside of the leaves as " candicanti-tOTnentosa,** — a circumstance common 

 enough in A. androscBmifoliurn, but of rare occurrence in A. cannabinum, of which I have only seen one 

 specimen, and that from Lexington, Kentucky, with its leaves downy beneath. The two species are 

 truly distinct in the shape of their leaves, and the relative length of the calyx and corolla.
