264 Mr. Lampert’s Account of 
by Professor Georgi in his Beschreibung des Russichen Reichs, but 
yet unpublished ; a new species of Rumex, R. graminifolius of 
Professor Rudolph, whose specimens of it I have also.received 
through the kindness. of my friend Dr. E. D. Clarke, of Cam- 
bridge ; the beautiful and rare Lilium camtschatcense of Linnzeus; 
a remarkable new species of Vaccinium which we had before 
heard of, and been long anxious to see. The following note 
affixed to the plant by Professor Rudolph, from whose Meriana 
I received it, (there being no specimen of it in the Pallasian col- 
lection,) contains all that we yet know concerning it: * Vacci- 
nium prestans. Hocce Vaceinium a nemine hucusque est visum. 
Crescit in remotissimo deserto, et in unico loco et paucissimis. 
incolis Kamtschatke tantummodo noto. Bacce perquam grate 
sapide sunt. Specimina cum floribus nequisquam, quamvis 100 
rubelonum pretium oblatum fuit, ausus est colligere." The fol- 
lowing specific character will, I trust, distinguish it from its con- 
geners. 
VACCINIUM przstans. 
Vaccinium caule humile adscendens, foliis magnis obovalibus 
serrulatis ciliatis venosis, fructu subgloboso amplissimo. n.
