 time it grows xc^ry high, aru! but few of the radical leaves 

 remain. The first flowers are larger in proportion than 

 the later ones, and oa short peduncles*

The only remaining species is altogether so dlfTerent in 

 habit from the rest, that it assuredly ought to fomi a dis- 

 tinct Genus, to which probably some of the tropical ones 

 belong. It does not grow in our vicinity ; although it may 

 ^^ found in our mountains, as Mr, Elliott states. Mr. 

 Nultall has observed it in Upper Louisiana. My speci-
