I conceive it doybtful whether the Siberian plant of the 

 same name, as described by Gmelin, actually is this species. 

 Willdenow never saw either.

This beautiful species I have never seen growing ; although 

 I have excellent specimens, from Canada, Pennsylvania and 

 the Cherokee country. Mr. Elliott cites it as common in 

 the Southern pine barrens, although rare on the sea coast. 

 Mine are all beardless, perhaps Mr. Elliott's may be a vari- 

 ety. This species is nearly related to the following, but 

 the narrow lanceolate leaves so remarkably attenuated into 

 the petiole and its perfect glabrosity, distinguish it suffi- 

 ciently.

Pursch has most probably confounded it with his Imicpo- 

 lata. 



This is likewise a native of Siberia.
