This has generally been considered in this country as the P. Caroli- 

 na, and the synonymes under that species in the Sp, pi. fiom Miller 

 and Martyn's Cent. 10. t. 10. evidently refer to this plant. Linn^K 

 however may have united two species under his P. Carolina. 

 • Grows near Columbia, South-Carolina. Mr. Hcrbemont.
