1 Veronica arvensis, L. (Gerard, p. 613), — a native, at present, of Europe, 
Asia, Northern Africa, and North America (Benth., in DC. Prodr., vol. x. p. 482) ; 
but considered to have been introduced here. 
2 Veronica, L. The species is perhaps V. officinalis, L. ; which, together with 
V. serpyllifolia, L., is considered by Prof. Gray to be both indigenous and intro- 
duced here. — Man. Bot., pp. 200-I. 
3 Hedeonia pulegioides (L.) Pers. (American pennyroyal), is doubtless meant. 
The specific name indicates its resemblance — in smell and taste particularly — to 
Mentha pulegium, L. ; for which our author and Cutler (/. c, p. 461) mistook it. 
But the former is peculiar to America. 
4 Mentha aquatica, L. Sp. PI. (Gerard, p. 684) ; for which it is likely our 
author (and also Cutler, I. c, p. 460) mistook M. Canadensis, L., Gray. 
6 Nepeta cataria, L. (Gerard, em., p. 682) ; considered by American botanists 
to have been introduced from Europe. 
6 Agrimonia Eupatoria, L. (Gerard, em., p. 712) ; common to America and 
Europe. 
" JCanthium strumarium, L., Gray (Gerard, p. 809) ; common, as a species, to 
both continents; but in part, also, introduced. — Gray, Man., p. 212. 
8 Nuphar advena, Ait., — the common American species, — is meant; and 
this, though resembling N. lutea, Sm., of Europe, is distindt from it. 
9 Arum, L. (Gerard, p. 381). The New-England species " differ," as our 
author says, "from all the kinds" in the Old World.
