genus Carya. Again, in the fame volume, — that for 
1789, — there is a N. Gen. Anonymos, minutely defcribed 
in feveral pages, which is no other than Thejium umbella- 
tum, L.., afterwards diftinguifhed by Nuttall as his genus 
Comandra. Again, under Anonymos, Yellow-Sandbind, 
there is a full defcription of what Nuttall after named 
Hudfonia tomentofa. The fame volume fhows that the 
author had anticipated Prof. Gray in referring Orchis 
fimbriata, as it was called by Purfh and other botanifts, to 
O. pfychodes, L. ; and the remark is alfo made that O. 
lacera Michx., — which Muhlenberg and our other writers 
had miftakenly referred to O. pfychodes, till Dr. Gray cor- 
rected the error, — muft be a new fpecies," which it then 
certainly was. Again, there is another Anomolos defcribed 
at length, which is the fame afterwards conftituted by 
Nuttall his genus Microjlylis. So Campanula humida 
(Cutler mfs.) is what Purfh defignated, long after, C. 
aparinoides. Again, in another volume (for 1800), he 
anticipates Purfh by propofing for our water-fhield the 
name Brafenia ovalifolia ; and, in yet another, he is before 
Bigelow in defcribing as a new fpecies what the latter, 
many years later, publifhed as Prumis obovata. This may 
fuffice to indicate the merits of the botanift of Ipfwich 
Hamlet. A little fhrub-willow, with clean, mining leaves, 
and modeft catkins, — inhabiting, almoft everywhere, the 
alpine regions of the White Mountains, and gathered by 
him there, before any other botanift had penetrated thofe 
folitudes, — ftill reminds us of his name, which deferves to 
be remembered by his countrymen.
