Michaux in Canada, and on the mountains of North Carolina; and Pui'sh 

 states it to be likewise a native of tlie mountains of Pennsylvania. It is 

 evidently a scarce plant, having been seen by but few American botanists in 

 a wild state ; and Elliott, in his interesting- Flora of South Carolina and Georgia, 

 was obliged to descriije it from a dried specimen sent him by a botanical cor- 

 respondent at Philadelpliia. 



The plant flowered in the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew in May 1812, having 

 been introduced by the late Mr. John Lyon from North Carolina, and a figure 

 of it was published in the September number of the Botanical Magazine for 

 that year. In Dr. Boott's Ilerijarium there are specimens collected by him in 

 the State of Vermont, and others gathered by Mr. Audubon in the Esquimaux 

 Islands, a group of islets in the Gulf of St. Lawrence off the south coast of 

 Labrador. Miehaux's figure of this plant erroneously represents the peduncles 

 as convolute at tlieir middle.
