ADLUM1A. 
leaves small, flowers fe »v. Liimeus says in Ca- 
nada Aquosis, stem digital. I have found his 
real sp. unknown to many botanists who mistake 
the next for it. 
Yar. 1. Minima , biuncial, few leaves on 
short petiols. Figures, Autikon Raf. 
3. A. glaberima Raf. Med. fl. ( JJrtica pu- 
frnla , Mx and all our botanists except Elliot.) — 
Stem round fleshy pellucid ; leaves on long pe- 
tiols, oval acuminate, lucid, serrate : corymbs 
dichotomous multiflore.- — The most common 
species all over the XJ. States, ‘ stem one or 
two feet high, thick often diaphanous ! leaves 
large extremely smooth. — Yar. ramosa , stem 
and corymbs branched. — Autikon Raf. 
3. A. lanceolata Raf. (Urtica piimila El- 
liot) stem obtusely quadrangular, fleshy and 
branched ; leaves on long petiols, lanceolate 
acuminate, serrate, with some hairs above ; co- 
rymbs multiflore, some recurved. — Stem pedal 
branching from the base. In Carolina, Elliot’s 
description is original ; but his diagnosis bor- 
rowed to make it agree with the last. 
4. A. rhomboidea Raf. Stem round dwarf, 
branched at the base ; leaves on long petiols, 
ovate rhomboidal or subdeltoid, base entire, end 
with obtuse point, sides crenate serrate not cili- 
Olate; corymbs multiflore often foliolate and 
recurved. 
In Kentucky, rare, stem 6 to 8 inches, near 
to A pumila , but larger stem and leaves, peti- 
ols equal to leaves except on branches. Seen 
alive.— Figure, Autik. Raf. 
ADLUM1A Raf. 1808, Dec. Beck. Noticed 
as a genus as early as 1804 in the garden of 
the collector Adlum, and also in the Alleghanies 
at Peter’s Mt. only indicated in 1808, since well
