Having fpoken very fully of this plant in my remarks upom 
C. firiéta,1 have only in this place to fay, that this plant has been: 
generally miftaken in confequence of the various aflertions of au- 
thors who have written upon it. It was not til after repeated 
„and careful examinations of the Linnean herbarium, that f could 
. determine it; for the fpecimens there preferved feem chofen ones, 
and of courfe do not appear at firft fight to bear that exact re- 
femblance to the general habit which is obfervable with us. I 
was relieved from all doubt by Mr. Afzelius, who, from hjs inti- 
mate and accurate knowledge of the Swedifh plants, and not lefs. 
perhaps of thofe of our country, traced out to me certain marks of: 
fimilarity. 
- Obf. The capfules ufually adhere to the rachis of the {pike,, 
even in decay. In C. friéia, they are deciduous as foon almoft as ` 
. they come to maturity—C. cz/Pitofa comes into flower a very cone. 
fiderable time after C. on néarly or quite a month.
