For the discovery of this interesting and very distinct 
species of Arsutus we are indebted to the venerable Men- 
zies, Who gathered it near the mouth of the Columbia, 
Mr. Dovetas noticed it as growing in rocky places, and 
extending from California (San Francisco, where it was 
collected by the naturalists of Capt. Beecnry’s voyage) in 
the south, to Puget’s Sound in the north. We are favoured 
likewise
