PAGE 8. In connection with the MAGNOLIAS, it should have been 

 stated, that in our American species (and remarkably 

 in M. glauca, L.) the flower-buds are closely and com- 

 pletely invested by a membranous hairy caducous spathe- 

 like bract.

Obs. A few years since, Messrs. R. KILVINGTON and 

 DAVIS GARRET, jr. detected a small and very remarkable 

 shrub, in Willistown, Chester County, which seems evi- 

 dently to be a Rhus, but with bipinnate leaves about a 

 foot long, the pinnae 3 or 4 inches long, and the pinnules 

 1 to 2 inches in length, linear-lanceolate, more or less 

 falcate, entire or rarely incised-toothed, glaucous beneath, 

 the terminal one deeply incised or pinnatifid. Messrs. 

 KILVINGTON and GARRETT (both of them intelligent and 

 experienced Florists) are of opinion that the shrub is a 

 variety of Rhus glabra. If so, it is a curious monstrosity, 

 or sport of Nature. Although carefully cultivated by 

 those gentlemen, since its discovery, it has not yet pro- 

 duced either fruit or flowers ; but Mr. K. informs me, 

 that it propagates freely by the root.
