This is the description of the original A. paniculata of Linnajusi 

 Jhich I have inserted, although considered as a Virginian plant, for 

 the purpose of pointing out the obscurity that still hangs over this 

 genus. UiUdenow, in his celebrated edition of this work, has cer- 

 tainly, on the authority of the Hort. Kewensis, sulJstifated some other 

 plant, r should suppose the modern A. paniculata, if the leaves of the 

 Tatter were ever ovate. Yet the figure of Plukenet and the Herbarium 

 Linnxus ought, where they are accessible, to remove all doubt. 



Grows in Virginia.
