The genus Sabbatia was firft propofed by Adanson, and 

 named in honour of two Italian Botanifts, Const an tine and 

 Liberatus Sabbati. Linn/eus united it with Chiron%a, 

 from which Mr. Salisbury has, we think, very properly 

 feparated it. All the American fpecies hitherto reiened to 

 Chiron 1 a appear to belong to this genus. 



Native of Carolina. A hardy perennial, or perhaps biennial. 

 Propagated either by feeds or parting the roots. Flowers molt 

 part of the fummer. Introduced by Mr. Knight, of the 

 Exotic Nurfery, King's-Road.
