Nuttallia pedata, Nutt. MSS. 
The figure here given of Nuttalia pedata, is copied from a 
drawing made by Mr Nuttall in America, who discovered 
it inhabiting, like the N, digitata, prairies in the Arkansa 
territory. To Mr Dick of Philadelphia our garden is indebt- 
ed for living plants, which flowered well during the autumn of 
last year. . . 
In the form and colour of the flowers, this species is cer- 
tainly very closely allied to the N. digitata. In the leaves, 
however, and in the panicled inflorescence, it is widely differ 
rent.
