All inhabitant of the northern parts of North America; 
Discovered by Sir Joseph Banks in Newfoundland. It was 
afterwards found upon the White Hills in New Hampshire, 
in Anticosti by Pursh, and in Greenland by the Danish bo- 
tanists ; and since by Dr Richardson in the wooded country 
between Latitude 54° and 64° north ; and more abundantly by 
the Officers of our late Arctic Expedition. 
The plant from which the present drawing was taken, was 
brought by Mr Goldie from Canada (we believe gathered at 
Anticosti), and flowered in the Botanic Garden under a com- 
mon frame in the month of April. It retains in cultivation all 
the characters of our dried native specimens : these characters 
depend almost wholly on the leaves, which are smaller than in 
D. odopetala, more heart-shaped at the base, recurved at the 
margin, not conspicuously veined beneath. — A leaf of the com- 
mon D. octopetala is given at Fig. 2.
