if not more than one) with the European A. salicifolius of Scholler. 
There can be no doubt about Scholler's plant, for he gives a very full 
description of it, and has represented it in an admirable plate. Willde- 
now seems to have found Alton's plant from America to be generally 
known by the name of A. salicifolius, and thought it wise to retain that 
name for it, notwithstanding the earlier publication of Scholler's little- 
known * Flora Barbiensis.' 
It is remarkable that so conspicuous a plant should have so long re- 
mained unnoticed in England and Scotland. In the former case, the ex- 
treme wildness of the unreclaimed fen which it inhabits, and the late time 
of its flowering (August), when most of the naturalists of Cambridge; 
are away from home, may perhaps be considered as a sufficient cause. 
In the latter country it was probably looked upon as some American 
Aster which had escaped from cultivation. As it appears that this 
plant is not a native of America, but of the European continent, where 
it grows by the sides of rivers and in swamps, we may reasonably sup- 
pose that it is also a native of Great Britain. In all probability, now 
that attention is directed to it, the plant will be found in other places 
besides Perthshire and Cambridgeshire.

By II. P. Hance, Ph.D., etc. 
The plant described by me (Ann. Sc. Nat. 4. Ser. xv. 225) under 
the name of Aderonwa Fekinensis, proves, on comparison with an 
authentic American specimen from the herbarium of the Petersburg 
Imperial Garden, to be identical with Calimem inlegrifoha, Turcz. 
Torrey and Grav had already (Fl. N. Amer. ii. 157) remarked that 
C. incisa, De Cand., and C. integrifolia, Turcz., were the only true 
Calimerides known to them, taking the genus as originally founded by 
Cassini, and that its systematic position was next to 1 Boltoma. Mr. 
lientham, in the ' Flora Hougkong<»sis,'-with good reason, U seems 
to me,-rcduced it to this genus, observing, howevcr,-I do not knnu 
on what -round -that it includes 0. incisa, " but not the other *pec,<
