garden at Boyton survived the winter of 1818, without pro- 

 tection ; but that last year nearly the whole perished from the 

 severity of the frost. 



It appears by the Flora Peruviana of Ruiz and Pa von, 

 that there are some other species of Verbena, which have as 

 near an affinity with V. Aubletia as the present species, 

 which was brought from Carolina by the late Mr. Lyon, and 

 was considered by Mr. Pursh as the bracteosa of Michaux, 

 with the character of which, however, it does not at all agree. 

 Flowers in June, July and August.
