There are several other Linnezan puzzles ialaaue to ‘North 
American plants which have from time to time been found out. 
Rubus Canadensis, L., for instance, was described as having 10, 5

specimen of Rhus typhina is the original of the Datisca hirta of 
Linneus. 
Then there are specimens in the Herbarium mistakenly attri- 
buted to North America, such as two South European species of 
Senecio, upon one of which Senecio canadensis, upon the other 
Cineveiria canadensis, were founded, According to Schultz Bip., 
the first proves to be S. artemisiefolius, Pers.; the second, a form 
of S. Cineraria. As it is most unlikely that the former was ever 
stlifvated in Canada, a total mistake respecting the source of the 
specimens may be presumed. e same sang be said of Soli- 
go Noveboracensis, L., which is founded on a specimen of Aster 
tataricus! The specimen on which Linnzus founded his Hieracium 
Kalmii still remains a puzzle. We can only say that it is not a 
Hieracium, and not a North American plant.
