 ^ This plant has hitherto escaped the researches of all of our botan^- 

 ^^ts. Pursh supposes it to be the Cissampelos smilacina of Linnaeus, 

 the Menispermum Carolinianum of Walter and Michaux ; yet I can* 

 not reconcile the « capsules 6, one celled, one seeded," of the Wend- 

 landia to the one seeded berry of the Menispermum.
