from the Missouri, preserved in Mr. Lameerr’s extensive 
herbarium, with which it appears perfectly to agree ; nor 
do we see occasion to dissent from its being the same 
species as figured by Jacquin in his Icones, under the 
name of hzspanica, a name adopted by him only, because 
he raised. it from seeds received under that designation, 
without knowing from what country it came. If it be 
likewise the same species as that, which we are informed, 
by Lamarck, was found by Caprain Cooxe in New Zealand, 
but of which we have not been able to discover any ac- 
count in either of his voyages, this plant has a more ex- 
tensive geographical range than is very frequently met 
with. Native of North America. A hardy biennial, raised 
in the garden belonging to the Horticultural Society, 
where our drawing was made in October 1823.
