294 A Report on New and Rare Plants, $c. 



by the smoothness of its leaves, its yellow flowers, form of cap- 

 sule, and other obvious marks. Mr. Nuttall discovered it 

 in the neighbourhood of the Red River, in the Arkansa 

 Country of North America, and from a plant communicated 

 by him to Robert Barclay, Esq. a figure in the Botanical 

 Magazine, tab. 2566, has been taken. 



XLV. Pogonia pendula. Lindley. 



Triphora pendula. Nuttall. 

 This most curious little plant blossomed in great perfection 

 in a shady American border, on the 31st of July. The roots 

 had been collected in Canada by Mr. David Douglas, and 

 brought home by him in 1824. The whole plant is not .more 

 than four inches in height, and has no other than about three 

 little scale-like, three-nerved leaves, which appear upon the 

 simple red stems. The flowers are terminal, white, tinged 

 with red, large for the size of the plant, appearing about three 

 together, and opening in succession. The face of the labellum 

 is green, the anthers and pollen masses purple. It is probable 

 that this plant is lost to the Garden, as it has not made its 

 appearance this year (1825), but if it should not be lost, it can 

 scarcely be anticipated that any means will be discovered of 

 increasing it. 



XLVI. Mimulus parviflorus. Lindley. 

 A pretty prostrate perennial plant, with trailing hairy stems, 

 putting forth roots at every joint Leaves ovate, toothed, 

 and three-nerved ; flower-stalks capillary, and covered, as 

 well as the calyx, with minute glands. The flowers are small,
