OF NORTH . AMERICA 
m 
many striking Genera, with several Amerosp. ■ 
introduced, I will merely add here two ...fro, in 
Collins herbarium chiefly. 
875. Ipomea hUxMilis Raf. Ip. heterophyla 
Col. herb, smooth, stem erect humble angular^ 
leaves cordate palmate 51obed, lobes ovate and 
lanceolate acute, peduncles as long as leaves 
l-2flore, 2 subulate bracts, segments of ...caiix 
ovate acute ciiiate, hairs curved— South Florida 
and Cuba, annual, root slender, stem semipedal, 
leaves small similar, flowers red, caiix with sin- 
gular cilia on the margin and back, white long 
and incurved. Very different from Ip. heterp- 
phyla of Mexico, a large climbing plant, with 
different leaves : both belong to the subgenus 
Hemilasis fl. teh 1016 with very unequal caiix. 
976. Quamoctita multi fid a Raf. Twining, 
smooth, leaves multifid laciniate, base truncate 
sinusses obtuse, segments linear and lanceolate 
acute, peduncles 3-5flore equal to petiols, caiix 
acute— a curious sp. deemed a garden hybrid, 
produced by Q.coccinea and Q. pinwaia, leaves- 
variously cut, few alike, some ren.iiorm with 
shorter cuts, flowers handsome large purple, 
tube clavate, limb flat stellate pentagone, sta- 
mens exserted. Seen alive in gardens, where 
sometimes spontaneous. 
877. Panax lanceolatum ,R. Root slender, 
stem humble, folioles 3 to 5 subequal lanceolate 
acute sharply serrate sessile, the lateral obli- 
qual, umbel shorter than leaves — Mts* Allegha- 
nies, blended by some of our botanists with P a 
tri folium that has folioles ovate and oho vale 
much smaller and umbel much longer than 
leaves. This rises 8 to 10 inches, folioles over 
one inch long narrow : root slender, annual t 3 
leaves as usual.
