Hab. Cknada. Mrs. Percivah Norway House Fort? Drummond. N.W. Coast of America. Doug~ 

 las,^ThQ CuscutcB, both of the old and the new worid, are in a sadly confused state. The present species 

 is probably frequently called by the American authors C. Americana. Of this, I am certain, that it is the 

 C. umhrosa of Beyrich (whose name I therefore adopt), and the C. Americana of Dr. Gris wold : but whether 

 It IS the Linnffian plant of that name, I have no means of ascertaining. Mr. Drummond's specimens are 

 too imperfect for determination. The flowers of the present species are larger than either of our two Bri- 

 tish ones.
