notwithftanding Lin nous's name has been retained in the 

 Species Plantarum of Willdenow and the new edition of the 

 Hortus Keweniis. If it were not to be confidered as a 

 diftincl genus, it would furely unite better with Sancuinaria 

 (No. 162 of this work) than with Podophyllum. 



The plant from which our drawing was taken, and which 

 flowered in the collection of the importer, Mr. Lyons, in April 

 laft, had nine petals and nine ftamens ; but from the obferva- 

 tions of Barton and Michaux, eight is the ufual number. 

 After the fall of the flower, in a rich foil and lhady fituation, 

 the footftalks rife to a foot or more in height. It is a native 

 of Virginia and Penfylvania, but not common in either {late.
