Lamarcx has divided the genus Rosin1a, and arranges this 
{pecies under his Caragana ; but, whilft we confefs that it ought 
to be feparated from Rosinia Pfeudacacia, hifpida, &c. we 
think it will no more unite with Caragana than with them; 
nor do we know any other fpecies of which it is properly a 
congener: we therefore follow the generality of Botanifts, and 
refer it, for the prefent, to Robinia. 
This beautiful fhrub thrives well with us in the open air, 
but is faid to be in general very thy of flowering, which has 
been attributed to the want of {alt in the foil, as its native place 
is in the dry barren falt fields on the borders of the river Irtis, 
in Siberia.
