 talis ii. 126, I.epidiitm lyratum ii. 141, I'encaiia reticulata ii. 109, I.unaria Graeca i. 92, Hedysarum

 pi. about mount Ararat ; — by Pallas i. 437 in journeying Eastward, first met with on the Yaik ; 

 known to grow also in Tartary (Pers.). 



Polygonum Orientate of Brazil? observed by Tournefort trav. iii. 171 in gardens at Tiflis in 

 Georgia: — by Forskal, in gardens at Constantinople, and by Delile in gardens at Cairo. Described 

 by C. Commelyn, and soon becoming frequent in the gardens of Europe (Pers.) ; and bv European 

 colonists carried to Northeast .America, where it is cultivated for ornament under the name of prince's 

 feather, and is sometimes found growing spontaneously (A. Cray, and Chapm.). Eastward from 

 Egypt, is enumerated by Taberd diet. p. 633 as called " trai-ngai-ba" in Cochinchina, and used there 

 medicinally: but according to Thunberg, was brought by the Portuguese to Japan, and is called at 

 Nagasaki by the Portuguese name " paute cobra." As observed by myself in Brazil, the plant seemed 

 to harmonize with the surrounding vegetation.

 Tournefort trav. iii. pi. 67 near Tripoli on the Black Sea, and termed "vitis idaea orientalis maxima 

 cerasi folio flore variegato" cor. 42. — (If however, as would seem from Persoon, the same species 

 grows on Madeira, it is probably the Madeira species introduced.)
