The Serratuta quinquefolia, in habit and general ap- 
pearance, resembles very much Sgrratuta tinetoria ; but is 
of considerably larger growth ; the leaves are pinnate, con- 
sisting generally of two pair of leaflets and an odd one, — 
which is much larger than the others; the flowers are not 
only larger, but are more conspicuous from the great length 
of the styles ; but it differs more especially in the elongation — 
of the internal scales of the calyx, which make an imperfect — 
scarious radius to the capitulum. a 
_ We believe, no figure has ever been published of this — 
"species ; which, we are told by Mr. Arron, was introduced —

quent in the woods of Caucasus, from which country seeds

the plant from which our drawing was taken was communl-
