300 Catalogue of Plants growing in East-Florida. 



Observations. — A brittle branched shrub with rather 

 crowded leaves, shaped like those of common purslain 

 Portulacca oleracea,) branchlets attenuated and almost, 

 naked above. The calyx narrowed at the base, is formed 

 of a few imbricated, linear-lanceolate, and acuminate 

 scales, (in a dried state,) shining with resinous atoms as in 

 the Eupatoriums Florets purple, the pappus also tinged 

 with the same colour. The corymb of flowers in this spe- 

 cies, with the exception of colour, could scarcely in any 

 respect be distinguished from those of Riihnia Critonia.

Observations. — Perennial ? Stem smooth and angular. 

 Leaves opposite linear, rather thick and smooth. Corymb 

 compound, trichotomous. Flowers yellow, scarce / distin- 

 guishable from those of solidago, except by the paucity of 

 rays. Calyx five-leaved, cylindric, coloured. Rays often 

 altoge*^>er wanting ? (in my specimen.) never more (haj»
