This is evidently the plant from which Linn,*: us charac- 

 terized his pyrenaica t a name he adopted under the perfuafion 

 'hat it was a variety of the true Pyrenean vegetable he found 

 pefcribed and figured in the works of Clusius and Lob el ;

 J* or k ; fince then we have obtained a living fpecimen, and can 

 nave no doubt of the fpecies being as diftincl from each other 

 as any other two of the fame genus. In facl, if a variety of 

 an y known fpecies, it muft be of Meleagris ; from which how,-
