Specimens found ]:ty Mr. Nuttall in his locality resem- 

 ble so completely Linnaeus' description of A. Carolinianus — 

 Avhich, however, is not sufficiently different from his A. Can- 

 adensis published later, to consider these as two species — 

 the former must, therefore, take the precedence and stand for 

 the species. 



An odd species widely different from any known east- 

 ern form, which cannot be named on account of lack of fruit 

 on the specimens collected, and our unaccountable inability 

 to find any on the i)lants later in ihe season.
