TETKANDRIA MONOGYNIA. Galium, lOo 



nada and New York. ■}/. July, v- v. Flowers white, 

 very numerous, collected in a regular panicle. Though 

 I doubt of" its being the G. hrea'e of Linnaeus, I 

 found so many intermediate specimens in the collec- 

 tion of A. B. Lambert, Esq., collected by Pallas in 

 Russia, that I could draw no line of essential distinc- 

 tion between them.
