This very pretty dwarf species of Whortle-Berry was 
long only known to Botanists by Micuavx s very imperfect 
description, made from specimens he found about Hudson's 
Bay, till Mr. Menzies supplied our Herbaria from the 
North-west coast of America, Mr. Dovexas from the West 
side of the Rocky Mountains, and Mr. DrumMonD, from the 
East side (nearly in the same latitudes, 52° North), as well 
as from Lake Winipeg and the Sashatchawan. The plants 
found in the Rocky Mountains being 1 fruit, Mr. Drum- 
monp has had the satisfaction of introducing the plant to 
our gardens. The drawing here given was made from 
specimens in the Glasgow Botanic Garden, where it bears 
its numerous and exceedingly delicate and graceful blos-
