 panicula sparsa subflavescente. This is found in most watery places in Ger-

12. Gramen tomentosum Virginianum panicula magis compact A, aureo colore 

 perfusa, Pluk. tab. 29, 9, fig. 4. 13. The least English rush. Juncellus Lobelii, 

 Park. 1192. Raii H. pi. 1304, Syn. 203, ed. 2, 274. It flourishes with us in 

 June and July in moist, sandy, and boggy places. 14. Parietaria foliis ex adverso 

 nascentibus urticas racemiferas flore. Cat. pi. Jam. 50. This Dr. Sloane observed 

 to grow plentifully on the moist and shady rocks in Jamaica. 



15. Aster Americanus albus latifolius, caule ad summum brachiato, Pluk. 

 tab. 79j fig- 1 et Aim. Bot. 56. Dr. Plukenet's figure very well resembles this 

 plant, the leaves are somewhat hairy, and on the back side very full of veins ; 

 they are near 3 inches and half long, and somewhat more than an inch broad ; 

 are sharp at each end and stalkless : the flowers are white, standing on long 

 footstalks, and branch towards the top. This I have observed for some years 

 growing in our physic-garden at Chelsea. 



16. Aster Marianus, foliis rigidis, floribus parvis umbelliferis. 17. Aster 

 Americanus albus mezerei arabum exasperatis foliis, florum petaHs reflexis, 

 Pluk. tab. 79, fig. 2, Aim. Bot. 56. These flowers are very small, and stand 

 many together, like an eupatorium ; the scaly tips are green, the petala long, 

 white, narrow, and seldom more than five or six in a flower.
