Bartonia, sr. {Centaur el la Moseri, Steud. & Hochst., 

 ace. to Griseb., in DC. Prodr. ix. 121.) A plant which 

 appears to represent, at least in part, this rare and poorly 

 understood species, was discovered in a small bog near 

 Holyrood (5). The species was first described from speci- 

 mens collected by Moser at Salzburg, Pa., and Drummond 

 at Covington, La. In his treatment of the genus in 

 DeCandolle's Prodromus, however, Grisebach includes in 

 it, with the mark of affirmation, a specimen collected by 

 La Pylaie in Newfoundland. As the present plant agrees 

 with Grisebach's description as regards alternate leaf- 

 scales and in having the corolla twice as long as the calyx, 

 there can be little doubt that it is the plant of La Pylaie. 

 It is, however, of lower growth, less branched, and less 

 numerously flowered than Drummond's specimen — differ- 

 ences perhaps wholly due to the climate. The flowers, 

 also, are mostly larger and solitary, on peduncles which 

 are often 6 to 9 lines long. From B. tenella, the New- 

 foundland plant differs in its alternate leaf-scales, loose 

 few-flowered raceme, and relatively larger corolla, which 

 in the fresh state is pinkish ; also in its purplish anthers. 

 More perfect material of the United States form of Cen- 

 taur ella Moseri is much to be desired.
