Professor Trelease has made a critical study of our flaxes, 
with a view of revising them for the coming volume of the Syn- 
optical Flora. His arrangement of the species is prefaced by 
some historical notes and others on homogony and heterogony 
of the flowers, our indigenous species being all homogone. It 
appears that we have as introduced species both L. usitatissimum, 
L., and L. humile, Mill., the latter to be distinguished by its 
dehiscent capsule with ciliate septa. L. Floridanum, n. sp. is the 
L. Virginianum, var. Floridanum, Planch.
