 remained behind as a missionary, and after his death his collection of plants fell into the hands of 

 Sloane, and some of them were published by Ray hist, "in 16.S6 " (Brendel in Am. nat. 1870). 



Isnardia palustris of North America. An aquatic, usually submerged, found by Banister in 

 Virginia* — (Ray hist. 1102 suppl. 635) ; but by Zanoni 67 in Southern Europe (Spreng.), and 



* Hypericum qirinquenervium of Northeast America. A small annual observed by Banister in 

 Maryland and termed " hypericoides ex terra mariana flurilms exiguis luteis " — (Pluk. mant. 104 

 and Ray suppl. 49')); by Walter (Pers.), Michaux, and Elliot in Carolina; by Croom, as far as 

 30 30' in Florida ; by Nuttall, along the Arkansas ; by Beck, on the Mississippi near St. Louis ; by 

 myself, throughout New England ; and is known to grow in Canada as far as Lake Winnipeg (Hook.); 

 in our Southern States, according to Chapman, "a foot high" "branching above," the capsule re- 

 maining "green." Transported to Europe, was observed by Savi naturalized near Pisa (Treviran., 

 and A. Dec). 



Hieracium venosum of Northeast America. Its leaves mostly radical and veined with red, called 

 poor Robin's plantain (Ph.) or rattlesnake-weed (A. Gray) ; observed by Banister 1926 in Virginia 

 and termed " hieraciucn fruticosum latifolium foliis punctis et venis sanguineis notatis ; " — by Pursh, 

 from Canada to Carolina ; by A. Gray, " common " in central New York ; by myself, from 45 to 38° 

 along the Atlantic ; by Schweinitz, at 36° in Upper Carolina ; by Elliot, in the upper district of Caro- 

 lina and Georgia; and by Short, in Kentucky. In regard to its alleged "medicinal powers" (Ph.), 

 I have seen a young Pennsylvanian allow himself to be bitten by a rattlesnake that had just killed a 

 hen, and applying this herb no ill effects followed, but I cannot recommend a repetition of the experi- 

 ment. (See H. nudicaule.) 



Pyenanthemum incanum of Northeast America. The horse-mint is a pubescent hoary aromatic 

 herb, observed by Barrelier in Virginia— (Ray suppl. 298) ; growing according to A. Gray from 

 "New England to Michigan, and southward;" observed by Torrey as^far North as 41° on the Hud- 

 son; by Pursh, from New York to Carolina; by Elliot, in South Carolina; by Chapman, " Florida 

 to Mississippi;" by Drummond, in Alabama (Benth.); by Short, in Kentucky; and by Nuttall, on 

 the Arkansas. Transported to Europe, is described by Morison iii. u. 8. 4', and Plukenet mant.
