 Notwithftanding the fize of the flowers, this plant pofleffes 
the true chara&ters of a Thymus, and in habit is not very dif- 
ferent from Tuymus (Mettssa L.) Calamintha of SmitH, 
which it may immediately precede in a fy{tematic arrangement. 
We have very little doubt but that Waxrer’s plant is the 
fame with ours, but are not fufficiently certain with refpett to 
Micuavux’s, to dare to adopt his [pecific name. ; 
It is a native of Carolina. Will be moft fafely fheltered in 
a greenhoufe during the winter. Communicated by our friend 
Joun Wa ker, Efq. from his colleétion at Southgate.
