This catalogue is chief!/ compiled from 

 Mr. Barlrmn's appendix, CoMen^s papers in the 

 Up/a! Acfs^ and from the communications of 

 Peter Kalm. It is not within our plan to de- 

 tail the fub]e<5ls of this paper. Among thofe men- 

 tioned by Bartram, we have the exa6b method of 

 exhibiting the LoMia Sipbylilka^ Sp. Plant. 1320^ 

 the Indian fpecific for the venereal difeafe, as deli- 

 vered to Sir William John/on^ who purchafed it of 

 the Indians at a great price : this is much more 

 largely treated of by Kalm, The virtues of many 

 of thefe plants are confirmed by Colden. The 

 Spigelia Anthelmintica^ or Indian Pink ; the Phyto- 

 lacca Americana^ Poke- weed ; Polygala Senega \ arc 

 all confidered, and the Geum Rivale^ or Mountain 

 Avens, which is ufed inftead of Peruvian Bark, 

 aod that with great confidence, in North America. 

 The catalogue contains near 40 plants, and the 

 author finifhes by propofing a certain number of 

 thefe, which appear to be mofi: worthy of regard, 

 to be cultivated in Europe for medicinal purpofes j
