3f our species, branches simple a«d slender. Leaves and the 

 )lant, covered with a hoary down. Racemes about half as long as 

 ves, many flowered. Cali/x very small, the two exterior leaves 

 linear. Corolla twice or three times as large as the calyx, bright yellow. 

 This plant difTers so much in habit and appearance from the other species 

 Qf this genus, as to excite some suspicion of its real connection with them. 

 I collected it whilst travelling hastily m the upper country without leisure 

 to examine it. Specimens which I sent to Dr. Muhlenberg, were 

 marked by him as a variety of the H. Canadense. Under this impression 

 it remained in my Herbarium until lately, when havinij received specimens 

 of the H. Canadense from New-York, from my friend Mr. Raffinesque, and 



perceiv

led again to examine diis plant. My specimens appear tc ^... ^^^^..^ 

 \ritli the H. Rosmarinifolium of Pursh, described from specimens collected 

 Iqr Mr. Ensleu in the middle districts of Georgia, I have therefore dcs^ 

 cribed them imder this name. 



* Grows at Rocky mount on the Catawba River.
