the publication of that gentleman's Tour across the 

 Continent of America to the Pacific Ocean. In 1812, 

 Mr. Nuttall, on his return from a journey in those 

 parts, brought seeds and specimens of this and another 

 species to London ; and having by those means the 

 living plants, I agreed with Mr. Nuttall to dedicate 

 it to the memory of Dr. B. S. Barton, of Philadel- 

 phia, our mutual friend ; under which name it was 

 published in the Botanical Magazine. Since that pub- 

 lication, Mr. Nuttall, whose name has occurred in se- 

 veral pages of this work, with all the credit due to his 

 valuable discoveries, has found himself rather offend- 

 ed at not having given him all the exclusive credit 

 of discovery, which with justice and propriety to the 

 memory of M. Lewis, Esq. I never could do.

 Tj . July, Aug. V. V. This climbing shrub resem- 

 bles the first species, but grows taller, and is in every 

 other respect larger in all its parts. It ascends, in com- 

 pany of Zizyphus volulilis, the tallest cypress trees 

 in those swamps.
