1 Lamarck first properly distinguished from Eryngium aquaticum, Zinn., the var. 
6., and characterized it as a distinct species, under the name of E. Virginianum. 
Later, Michaux, giving to the original &. aquaiicum of Linneus the uname of EZ. 
yucce folium, described under the name of E. aquaticum, a plant which appears to 
be, not the E, Virginianum of Lamarck (which is described as only a foot or so in 
height, with long and narrow, ensiform, radical leaves, finely striate and ciliate, 
with distant spinules, Lamarck moreover citing the figure of Pluk. Alm, t. 396), 
but the much larger and broader-leaved plant which Elliott has well characterized 
under that name, Elliott's H. Plukenetii is truly E. Virginianum, Lam, Iam 
indebted to H. W, Ravenel, Esq., of St. Johns, Berkley, S. Carolina, for full speci- 
mens and notes, accurately distinguishing these species, and another, which perhaps 
has also been confounded with E. Virginianum, but which may properly bear the 
name of this acute and zealous botanist, who has directed my attention to its char- 
acters. The latter should stand next EB. aquaticum, L.
