his work, I have consequently no opportunity of examining 
more accurately. The plant described by Mr. Nuttall as gra- 
cilis, is the one so common in Jersey, and is the same intend-

Kalmii, as it certainly is Muhlenberg’s. 
(L. stem erect, minutely scabrous, simple or fili- gracitis. 
formly branched; leaves oblong-linear, mi- 
nutely denticulate, partly obtuse and remote ; 
flowers slenderly racemose, distant; peduncle 
coloured, shorter than the flower, bibracteate at 
the basez segments of the calix subulate, lon- 
ger than the capsule which is obtuse below. 
Oxs. The radical leaves are spathulate and 
mostly hirsute; stem leaves remote, sessile, 
scarcely ever exceeding an inch in length. Stem 
filiform, often somewhat flexuous, but erect. 
Peduncles only 2 or 3 lines long, in the flower 
blue; segments of the calix nearly double the 
length of the capsule. Flower blue; palate of 
the lower lip marked with 2 acute white lines, 
and 2 greenish spots with 2 others also near the 
base of the tube. ‘The root is slender but appa- 
rently perennial.—Vuit. } 
3. L. erect, branched, very hirsute; leaves ovate, inflata.
