Mr. Haworth, by whom we were favoured with the-plants 
_ from which the prefent and the following article were drawn, 
has given the moft complete account of the genus PortuLaca, 
as conftituted by Linn 2us, that we have feen any where. It 
is from one of his fe&tions that we have, agreeably to his fug-
