This plant had often been received by Mr. Murray from 
Canada, and was long cultivated in the Botanic Garden of 
Glasgow, without a naine, until we raised plants sent home 
by Mr. Drummonp, from Capt. Sir Joun FRAnNKLIN’s second 
expedition ; when, upon comparing flowering specimens 
with my original ones of V. Canadense, gathered and named 
by Dr. Richarpson on the first of those important journies, 
I clearly ascertained that they were the same species, which 
nevertheless does not appear yet to have been taken up by 
any American Botanist. It flowers in May, and may be 
readily known from V. corymbosum by its dwarf size, leafy 
flowering branches, and campanulate corolla, from V. Penn- 
sylvanicum
