On the earth ; Newfoundland, Herh. Hook. ! This brau'tiful species 

 resembles C. deformis in some respects, but belongs to the present sub- 

 division, and seems very distinct from every other scarlet-fruited Cla- 

 donia with which I am acquainted. I venture to inscribe it to the illus- 

 trious botanist who first proposed a complete survey of the cryptogamy 

 of British America, and who has done more than any other to illus- 

 trate it.
