A beautiful species ; " the foliage is of a delicate green 

 color, and the leaves, at the extremity of the branches, form 

 a sort of starry crown around the dense heads of flowers, 

 which are white below, and form a striking contrast to tlie 

 deep brown, almost black, connivcnt segments of tiie corolla, 

 and the bright red, much protruded styles." Dr. Hooker 

 states that it does not agree with Mr. Don's generic charac- 

 ter for Euryloma. {BoL Mag., t. 3427.)

 imtive of North Aiiiericii. Bot. Maif., t. 3-128. 



A pretty species of our whortleberry, which lias been in- 

 troduced to the Glasgow Botanic garden. Nearly allied to 

 V. corymbosum of L., of which it was first supposed a varie- 

 ty. It is not handsomer than many of our most common 

 species. {Bot. Mag., Aug.) 



citspitisum Michx. Dwarf-tufted Whortleberry. A dwarf creeping slirtib; flowers white, 

 tinged with blush. A native ofPIudson's Bay. Bot. Ma^., t. 3429. 



An interesting species, first discovered by Michaux, about 

 Hudson's Bay, but subsequently on the north-west coast of 

 America, by Mr. Menzies, west of th^ Rocky mountains by 

 Mr. Douglas, and on the east side, by Mr. Drummond, who 

 introduced it to the Glasgow Botanic garden. Its geograph- 

 ical distribution is consequently very great. It produces 

 numerous "delicate and gracefid blossoms" in May. (Bot. 

 Mag., Aug.)

A good addition to our hardy annuals. The plate repre- 

 sents a terminal shoot, with three yellow flowers, somewhat 

 in appearance like Madia elegans. The leaves arc o|)positc, 

 sub-amplexicaulis, acuminate, from the axils of which shoot 

 out the flower stems. Introduced by the London Horticultu- 

 ral Society, in 1834. The seed should be sown in autumn.
