 Dr. Engelmann, in the same volume, remarks that he "had col- 

 lected it on the calcareous rocks about the Hot Springs of "Ar-

 between Edmonson and Barren counties, near the Diamond 

 Cave, by Professor Hussey, as special locations. 



Professor Eaton furnishes several synonyms under which it

 Sprengel, there are none beyond those already noted likely to 

 be met with by our readers.
