ON A NEW SPECIES OF SAROTHRA OF LIN- 
N/EUS, WITH SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE 
GENUS AND ITS AFFINITIES. 
. Bx R. K. Grevitre, LL. D. anb W. J. HOOKER. 
Wuitst engaged in looking over an extensive collection of 
plants, gathered by Mr. Drummond upon the Missouri, near 
St. Louis, we were much struck with the appearance of a 
plant having the habit of Sarothra, but whose larger foliage 
seemed to give it an equal claim to be considered an Hyperi- 
cum. ln seeking for characters to distinguish this new plant, 
which we soon found to be a true Sarothra, from the only 
hithertoknown species, S. gentianoides, we were naturally led to 
inquire into its right to a station among the Gentianec, where 
many Botanists have placed the genus, or among the Frank- 
eniacee, to which the excellent Auguste St. Hilaire bas 
referred it;—most modern Botanists, apparently, having 
agreed to discard it from Hypericinee ; though some, and 
those who have had opportunities of investigating the genus 
in a recent state, assert its claims tothe latter order, and (not 
without reason), even to a place in the genus Hypericum itself.
