MONOGE-APH OF THE GENUS PYROLA. £37 
shorter than the bractese. The teeth of the calyx are longer 
and more acute. The petals broader, and shorter. 
The specimens of this species, in the Banksian Herba- 
riiim, are from Nootka Island, on the north-west coast of 
America^ where they were collected, along with several 
other new species, in Vancouver's Voyage, by my kind 
friend A. Menzies, Esq., an acute and industrious botanist. 
Those in the Lambertian Herbarium are from Japan, and 
were taken in a Dutch prize, whose cargo was sold in Lon- 
don • these appear to me not to differ in any material points 
from those in the Banksian Herbarium.
