calyceque aculeato-hispidissimis, Enum. PI. Agri Cantab, 1843, Ms.) ; upon which 
see Gray (Man., p. 121 ; and Statistics, &c, /. c, p. 81). R. triflorus, Richards., is 
also very near to, and was once considered the same as, the European R. saxatilis, 
L. The rest of our New-England raspberries and blackberries appear to be spe- 
cifically distinct from those of Europe. The cloud-berry, mentioned at p. 60, is 
there set down among plants proper to the country; and may therefore not be the 
true cloud-berry (Gerard, p. 1273), or Rubus ckamxmorus, L., which is common 
to both continents. 
1 The New-England gooseberries are peculiar to this country. The author no 
doubt intends Rides kirtellum, Michx. (Gray, Man., p. 137) ; as see further his 
Voyages, p. 72. 
2 Craicegus, L. But the species are peculiar to this country, as Josselyn im- 
plies with respect to the haws which he notices. These, no doubt, included C. 
(omen/osa, L., Gray; and perhaps, also, C. coccinea, L. Wood says, "The white 
thorn affords hawes as big as an English cherry; which is esteemed above a 
cherry for his goodness and pleasantness to the taste." — New-England's Rrosfetf, 
chap. v. At page 72 of his Voyages, the author mentions " a small shrub, which 
is very common; growing sometimes to the height of elder; bearing a berry like 
in shape to the fruit of the white thorn ; of a pale, yellow colour at first, then red 
(when it is ripe, of a deep purple) ; of a delicate, aromatical tast, but somewhat 
stiptick, — which may be Pyrus arbutifolia, L. Higginson (New-England's 
Plantation, /. c, p. 119) speaks of our haws almost as highly as Wood. 
8 Great toad-flax (Gerard, em., p. 550) ; Linaria vulgaris, Moench. Compare 
De Candolle (Geog. Bot, vol. ii. p. 716) for a sketch of the American history of 
this now familiar plant, which the learned author cannot trace before Bigelow's 
date (Fl. Bost., edit. 1) of 1814. But it is certainly Cutler's " snapdragon ; . . . 
blossoms yellow, with a mixture of scarlet; common by roadsides in Lynn and 
Cambridge " (/. c, 1785) : though he strangely prefixes the Linna?an phrase for 
Aniirrkmum Ca?iadense, L. ; and there seems no reason to doubt that Josselyn 
may very well have seen it in 167 1.
