of the anthers are said to be biaristate [2-awned] at the apex: it is, therefore, probably a species 
of Zendbia.’”’? (Don’s Mill.)

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves deciduous, oval-lanceolate, acute, serrulate, mem- 
branous, glabrous. Flowers white. Spikes terminal, secund, elongated, 
simple, or branched. Bracteas linear, acute, two at the base of a calyx, 
which is acute. Corolla cylindrical. (Don’s Mill., iii. p. 831.) A native of 
North America, from Canada to Carolina, in bogs and swamps, where it 
becomes a middle-sized shrub, which may be reckoned one of the finest in 
North America, not only for the graceful appearance of its flowers, but also 
for their fine odour. It was introduced in 1736, grows to the height of 3 ft. 
or 4ft., and flowers in June and July. A very desirable species.

Spec. Char., §c. A beautiful tree, from 40 ft. to 60 ft. high. Branches taper. 
Leaves deciduous, oblong, acuminate, serrate, with mucronate teeth, gla- 
brous, acid. Flowers in terminal panicles of many racemes. Corollas 
white, ovoid-cylindrical, downy. (Don’s Mill., iii. p. 831.) A native of North 
America, from Pennsylvania to Florida, in the valleys of the Alleghany 
Mountains. The leaves have a very pleasant acid taste, from which the 
species has been called the sorrel-tree. They are frequently made use of 
by hunters in the mountains to alleviate thirst. It was introduced in 1752, 
and flowers in June and July. There is a tree of this species at Purser’s 
Cross, which, in 1835, was 18 ft. high; and there is one of nearly the same 
height in the garden of Lady Tankerville, at Walton upon Thames. In the 
Botanic Garden at Carlsruhe, there is a tree which was about the same 
height in 1828, and which ripens seeds every year, from which abundance 
of plants have been raised.
