Obs. The structure of tlic flower and fruit in tin's species is very si- 

 milar to that of the foregoing, but its prostrate diffuse growth, and 

 spreading panicles, so different from the above, seem to preclude the 

 possibility of uniting them.

Obs. It will perhaps be necessary to cultivate this plant to asser- 

 tain whether it be really distinct from P. spinosa. It is so decidedly 

 different in appearance that I have not hesitated to consider it as a 

 species.
