 few leaved perianthe, and trigone seeds. Wede- 

 lia with rays or no rays! seeds urceolate or uni-

140. SoLiDAGo L. auct. This G. with Eri- 

 geron^ Inula and Aster were in utter confusion, 

 the determination of Sp. hardly attainable, altho' 

 oflering many excellent permanent charar- 

 ters for N. Genera. I began in 1807 to reform 

 them ; since then my labor has been partly an- 

 ticipated by Cassini, Esenbeck, Nuttal and Les- 

 sing, but they have lefl the others nearly un- 

 touched. I now mean to revise them, leaving 

 most of the Asters for further enquiries. For 

 the N. 8p. see my Flora.
