genus from Middle Florida and North Carolina, and is 

 allied in appearance to Archemora tertiata. Etmjptera hicida, 

 Nutt. mst., is from California. Eurytmnia Texana is a 

 Driimmondian plant from Texas. Glycosma occidentalis is 

 another new genus of Nuttall, from the Columbia, as is 

 Cynapium apiifolium. Deiveyia, Torr. and Gray, is the 

 Ligiisticum argutum, Nutt. mst. The Seseli divaricatum, 

 Presl. and Hook., and three new species, all from the Rockv 

 mountains, form the Genus Musenium, Nutt. mst. Lfptocaulis 

 inermis. Hook, et Arn., and an allied species, constitute 

 Nuttall's new genus Apiastrmn. 



Under Corniis are some admirable remarks, tendinf^ to 

 elucidate the species which have been hitherto much confused. 

 No Loranthiis has yet been found in North America, or 

 rather none north of Mexico; and of the Order there are only 

 two species of Viscum {V.Jlavescens, Pursh., and a new species 

 V. villosxim, Nutt.) and Arcetdhohium Oxycedri. This family 

 concludes the 4th or last part of the first volume extending 

 to 655 pages, and comprising the polypetalous division of the 

 Dicotyledonous or Exogenous Plants. 



The supplement, as we have already observed, contains 

 some very important additions and emendations. Enemiony 

 Rafinesque, is restored to Isopynim. Croomia is a very 

 curious genus of Blenisperme^, growing in Middle Florida 

 under the shades of Torreya taxi/olia, Arn., with the habit of 

 a Monocofyfedorwns, some Smilaciveons or Dioscoreaceous plant; 

 it is figured by Torrey in Ann. Lye. N. York, 4. t. T — Cosfefa 

 is a genus added to the North American Flora by Drum- 

 mond, who found the same species in Texas, (C. Nicholsoni, 

 Hook. Bot. Misc. I. t. 55.) which had been discovered in 

 Antigua. Pavonia and Melochia are two tropical genera, 

 detected among Drummond's Texas plants. Discanthera is a 

 new genus* oi Cncurbitacet^, derived from the same source. 



We shall hail with peculiar pleasure the appearance of the 

 second volume of this great undertaking.
