BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 63 
Cazoris BonEALI-AMERICANA.—/lustrations of new, rare, 
or otherwise interesting Norra AMERICAN PLANTS, se- 
lected chiefly from those brought into cultivation at the 
Botanical Garden of Harvard University, by Dr. Asa 
Gray. 4to. Decade I. (From the Memoirs of the American 
Academy of Aris and Sciences ; Vol. IV. New Series). 
Weare glad to see that Dr. Gray is following up the publi- 
cation of the admirable Flora of N. America, the work of him- 
self and Dr. Torrey, with no less excellent illustrations of the 
rarer plants of the northern portion of the New World. The 
first ** Decade" is now before us. The plates are coloured, and 
accompanied by excellent analyses; so that, together with 
the accompanying descriptions and remarks, which -display 
great botanical research, nothing seems wanting towards 
a complete history of the respective species. The plants 
here given are: 1. Corema (Oakesia, Tuckerman) Comadi,— 
Tuckermania, Klotzch ; as this proves to be a congener of 
Empetrum album, referred to Corema by Don, that name is 
adopted; 2. Schweinitzia odorata, Ell. (Monotropa, Schwein.) ; 
3. Obolaria Virginica, L.; 4. Gaillardia amblyodon, Gay; 
5. Brazoria truncata, Engelm. et Gray, (Physostegia, 
Benth.) ; 6. Sullivantia Ohionis, Torr. et Gr. (Saxifraga ? 
Sullivantii, Torr. et Gr.) ; 7. Thermopsis Caroliniana, M. A. 
Curtis; 8. Th. fraxifolia, M. A. Curtis, (Baptisia mollis et _ 
ee oe Nutt.) ; 9. Th. mollis, M. A. Curtis, (Podalyria 
mollis, Mz., Baptisia, DC.); 10. Gaylussacia ursina, Torr. 
et Gr.
