JJab. Fields, near West-Chester: rare. Fl. June— July. Fr. 



Obs. This is a rare plant, east of the Alleghany mountains. It was collected 

 by Mr. Joshua Hoopes, in July, 1836, near the Philadelphia road, about two miles 

 East of West-Chester, where it grew in considerable quantity ; and I have since 

 learned that it was previously found (viz. in 1834) by Mr. William Hartman, in 

 Strode's orchard, about three miles S. West of the Borough of West-Chester. 

 The herb possesses coasTderable odor,— something similar to that of Melissa or 

 Common Balm. There is one other species in the U. States.
