towards the centre, though evidently making no effential dif- 

 ference, will give in the former cafe the appearance of a three- 

 celled, in the latter that of a one-celled fruit. This obferva- 

 tion will probably explain the feeming contradiction in the 

 formation of the fruit in this genus. Whether the three 

 feminal receptacles in any cafe perfectly unite in the centre, 

 as defcribed by Mr. Salisbury in Paradifus Londinenfis, 

 No. 35, deferves to be further examined ; in this fpecies they 

 are certainly free towards the centre and attached to the fides 

 of the fruit only. 



A hardy plant, requiring made, and to be planted in bog- 

 earth. Found by Michaux in mountainous places in Upper 

 Carolina, by Kalm in Canada, and by Mr. Menzies in 

 Nova-Scotia. Cultivated here by Miller. 



Our drawing was taken from a plant communicated by 

 Meffrs. Napier and Chandler, Vauxhall.
