By means of a fragment of the Dillenian fpecimen No. 12, I have been 

 enabled to fatisfy myfelf that the prefent is the fame fpecies, and con- 

 fequently the C. albida of Hudfon. I have at prefent feen only two 

 dried fpecimens of this plant, the habit of which is fo remarkably thick 

 and cluftered that it is extremely difficult to extricate a fmall piece fo as 

 clearly to difcover the ramification. Its ftrongeft character feems to lie in 

 the oppofite and horizontal ramuli. The color is a pale waxy yellowifh 

 green, wholly devoid of glofs. The length of the filaments is about three 

 inches. The variety (3 is feven or eiylit inches long, and of a lefs bufliy 

 habit. Its ramuli are lefs regularly oppofire, and are (trait inftead of being 

 flexuofe. Mifs Hutchins fays that when frefh it is of a beautiful pale green 

 color. For the fketch at Plate E, which reprefent6 the ramuli magnified 2, 

 I am indebted to Mr. Hooker.
