of the styles purple: stigmas toothed, bifid and almost 
blue. 
Communicated by Davin Fatconer, Esq. from his collec- 
tion at Carlowrie, Edinburgh, in May, 1828. It is a native 
of Carolina, first described by Watrer, in his Flora of that 
country : nor does it appear to have been known to any 
other Botanist except Mr. Exxiorr, who, however, speaks 
of it as being very much circumscribed in its locality. 
The inner segments of the corolla, I do not find to be by 
any means constantly three toothed. Sometimes they are 
quite entire. :

The Ints lutescens figured at tab. 2861 of the present yolume being consid- 
ered by Dr. Granam distinct from the Iris Iutescens of SpRENGEL, his specifie 
character should have been adopted in lieu of that of the author last men- 
tioned. “ 1. Zutescens; caule simplici unifloro folioso, folium inferius equanti; 
flore barbato, breve pedunculato, tubo corolle germen superanti, laciniis un- 
dulatis, crenulatis, obtusis, unguiculatis, interioribus latioribus inflexis, laci- 
niis labii superioris stigmatis acutis, spatha erecta, excedente et valvula interi- 
oe a inflata involvente tubum. Granam in Edin. N. Phil. Journ. No. [X-
