 France and the neighbouring portion of Italy, in woods from Dauphiny to Piedmont (Dec. fl. fr., and 

 Mut.) ; was observed by Gouan near Montpellier, but perhaps adventive only (A. Dec). In Britain,

 "flowers small flesh-colour" (pale pink), and the leaves "eight inches long." The white-flowered 

 form, "P. densiflorum" of Meisner, was observed by Chapman on "muddy banks, Florida, and west- 

 ward ; '' by myself, intermingled with P. persicaria in waste places around Salem in New England ; 

 and is perhaps the same seen by Torrey at 41° on the Hudson, and according to A. Gray growing in 

 "moist places Michigan to Kentucky, and common southward," and "apparently indigenous."

 "vourla" (Sibth.) ; described by Lobel ic. 85— (Spreng.), and Barrelier pi. 208; termed '■}. acutus 

 panicula sparsa" by Tournefort inst. 246 ; and known to grow in moist places from Lapland and Russia

 Dectndolle on the seashore of France as far as the Mediterranean; by Sibthorp, around the Greek 

 islands. Westward, by Hooker in Iceland ; by myself, on the border of salt marshes around Salem, 

 Mass. ; and according to A. Gray is "not rare" along our sea-coast. 



by Elliot, in Granby, South Carolina, and Augusta ; by Chapman, in " Florida, and northward ; " by 

 Short, in Kentucky; and by Nuttall, in New Jersey and Arkansas. 



Polygonum (/fc/xiiw) dumetorum of Northeast America. A climbing biickiulicat, transported 

 to Europe, termed " helxine cissampelos altera" by Lobel pi. 624 — (J. E. Smith); described also by 

 Tournefort inst. 511, and Linnasus; known to occur seemingly wild from Denmark throughout middle
