probably something else. We have, however, nothing more 

 like it from Mr. Douglas. 



The Mitella pentandra of the Botanical Magazine is 

 rightly determined by M. Decandolle to be a distinct genus, 

 to which he has given the appropriate name of Drum- 

 mondia, in compliment to one of the best collectors and 

 most deserving individuals of the age. 



A perennial, stemless, evergreen, cespitose, herbaceous 

 plant. Ze^ve^ roundish-cordate, acutely crenate, somewhat 

 5-lobed, more or less hairy, on long footstalks ; petioles 

 villous ; stem-leaves 3-lobed, cut. Stem erect, a foot and 

 a half high, somewhat hairy at the base, above minutely 

 glandular, as are all parts of the inflorescence. Panicle 

 loose, elongated. Bracteolce subulate. Calyx inversely 

 conical, half superior, 5-toothed, slightly oblique. Petals 

 minute, linear-lanceolate, unguiculate, entire. Stamens 5, 

 exserted, opposite the teeth of the calyx.
