After the Latin fpecific name at the top of the page in the 

 fame article, add "mas"; before the Englifh, " Male." 



After that prefixed to fpecific character, infert " (diotca ;)''. 



Mr. Pursh affures us that this fpecies is conftantly dicecious, 

 and that the bloom in the male plant is white, in the female 

 green. This character fuggefted to Walter the very appro- 

 priate fpecific title we find in his work. We mould have 

 entirely overlooked the fynonym from Jacquin's works, biu 

 for an accidental reference to the head Helonias in R EES 

 Cyclopoedia. Dr. Bar tun has figured its rootftock, for a 

 fample of the prsemorfe or forebitten root. Willd enow, 

 befides recording it in two places as diftinB, has made an iuk 

 blunder as to Jacquin's engraving, which we have explained 

 above. G.
