The American species of Phil/adelphus are not very readily 
distinguished from each other; and if we are correct, as we be- _ 
lieve, in naming this P. Airsutus, it is a native of Oregon coun- 
try, North-west America, whence it was imported recently by — 
the Messrs. Veitch. It does not in any way-differ from the | 
original authentic specimens in our herbarium of P. Airsutus, 
SEPTEMBER IsT, 1862.
