1 Veronica arvensis, L. (Gerard, p. 613), — a native, at present, of Europe, 

 Asia, Northern Africa, and North America (Benth., in DC. Prodr., vol. x. p. 4S2) ; 

 but considered to have been introduced here. 



2 Veronica, L. The species is perhaps V. officinalis, L. ; which, together with 

 V. serpyllifolia, L., is considered by Prof. Gray to be both indigenous and intro- 

 duced here. — Matt. Bot., pp. 200-1. 



3 Hedeoma pulcgioides (L.) Pers. (American pennyroyal), is doubtless meant. 

 The specific name indicates its resemblance — in smell and taste particularly — to 

 Mentha pulegium, L. ; for which our author and Cutler (/. c, p. 461) mistook it. 

 But the former is peculiar to America. 



4 Mentha aquatica, L. Sp. PI. (Gerard, p. 6S4) ; for which it is likely our 

 author (and also Cutler, /. c, p. 460) mistook M. Canadensis, L., Gray. 



5 Nepeta cataria, L. (Gerard, em., p. 682) ; considered by American botanists 

 to have been introduced from Europe. 



6 Agrimonia Eupatoria, L. (Gerard, em., p. 7 12 ) i common to America and 

 Europe. 



7 Xanthium strumarium, L., Gray (Gerard, p. S09) ; common, as a species, to 

 both continents; but in part, also, introduced. — Gray, Man., p. 212. 



8 Nuphar advena, Ait., — the common American species, — is meant; and 

 this, though resembling N. lutca, Sra., of Europe, is distinct from it. 



9 Arum, L. (Gerard, p. 3S1). The New-England species " differ," as our 

 author says, "from all the kinds" in the Old World.
