Since we have not feen the living fpecimen of this fpecies, 

 we do not pretend to add to or alter what has been faid of the 

 plant in the Exotic Botany. According to tht figures, our 

 plant feems to us to partake equally of Dr. Smith's fiava and 

 perfoliata. Michaux has two varieties, poffibly his (*) i* 

 iheflava of Dr. Smith. We ftrongly fufpect. all thefe plants 

 will be found to be mere varieties of each other : (a) was found 

 by Michaux in Canada and on the very high mountains 

 of Carolina ; (j3) in the mountains of middling height in Ca- 

 rolina and Virginia. Miller fays the fpecies is perfect)/ 

 hardy, and mould be planted in a hazel loam not too ftiff 

 nor wet ; may be propagated by parting the roots about 

 Michaelmas, but not oftener than every third year. Bloom* 

 in April and May.
