olesthin, obcordate, dilatate, almost renif(n-m, smooth, slightly ciliate, scspe uni- 
flure equal to the leuvis, styles and petals longer th.ji tlie stamina, petals cnne-

it on the summit of the Catskill mountains in the state of New-York. I'ctals 
white, veined with purple, base yeliowisli, blossoming ni June

ple, thick and flexuose, l.-uves on long petioles, paimated, divisions bilid, some- 
what laciniate, lanceolate acute ; raceme tliick ovale, flowers nodding, spur ad-

tnlt fine species discovered on Turtle creek, near Pittsburgh. It rises only vr.o 
foot, it blossoms m May, flowers dark violet with a white palate, ruceme often 
with eight flowers. 1 have modified the name oi Delphinium v.hich was ntavly 
identical witii JJelpIdmis a gt nus of animals. 
89. Dsniuriti parvifoha. Uoot tuberose vermicular, stem slender, leaves Infali- 
tate, the radical ones with folioles petiolate, ovyt£, acute, serrate, laeiniate, those 
of the caulinar leaves sessile lanceolate, serrate or entire.— A small species, rising- 
only four to si. x inches. I found it on the beautifii! banks of the Loyalhannidi 
creek in western Pennsylvania; it blossoms in May, Huwcrsof u p;de rose coloiir, 
stigma capitate, raceme slender, lea\ es small. 
90- Silent w.iniuta. Stem viscid, pubescent, striated, leaves oblong, acute, pu-

leaves remote, flowers scarlet, like red le:.d :.r.d ;'.;:',;/hntj brit;lit; b;it tu Ing in 
drying. I have seen it sometimes wiili four i)ei;.i, (ii^l.t s:,,i',iii::, &:c. It !r;ay be 
probably necessary to re-establish the genus ./?(/tiy?/ (,f Ad^iusun, coi t:.:i.ii:g the 
species of <S'i7e«e v.ith unilocular capsules, in which case this species may be culled

91. linmei: sylvatica. Root tuberose, cylindrical, fusiform, stem angidar, fur- 
rowed, straight k simple, leaves petiolate, ovate, oblong, n< ai!y entire, flat, acute 
at both ends ; raceme elongate, naked and articulated, calix with the external se- 
pals small, oblong, obtuse, internal ones (U" petals lacerated ovate, one granular, 
grain spherical, very large. — Discovered in the woodsof western Kentucky, blos- 
soming in .\ugu.st ; stem hardly overone foot high, radical leaves small, 
92. Polugotuim lyunctatam. Stem branched, leaves bioad lanceolate, acunil- 
nate, dotted bei.eath, petiolate. sheuths i.ervose mutic ; spikes dense, elongate, 
bracteas ovate, acuminate, membranaceous, flowers gi-minate, nearly sessile ; ca- 
lix unequally quinqueflu, divisions obtuse, two larger, five stamina, two styles, 
seed obt!i.'e lenticular. — It throws in western Kentucky arid blossoms in August ; 
flowers white, stem two ortluve fVet high. The genuy Pulyironwnmwst soon be 
divided, this th-n will forma genus or sab-genu.s, wllh the other species havitig 
an unequal calix, five stam. two st. and lenticular seed ; it might be called Chvlu- 
siiim. 
93. Pohjs^omim serotinum. Shrubby, stem upright, striated, much branched* 
branchts a :gular, virgute ; leaves nearly sessile, ovate-oblong, acute, smooth; 
sheaths split laterally, lacerated, membranaceous ; flowers axillary, fascicidate, 
pedunculate, polygamous : calix rhomboidal, unequally quinguefid, live stamina, 
three sessile stigmas ; seed unequally triangular, conical, smooth, longer than the 
calix. — A large species, discovered ne.ir Lexington in fields; it forms a small 
shrub two or three feet high, woody only at the base and blossoming in October. 
It approximates to P. rnmosisaiinitm of Mx, & P. purvifotivm of Nuttall ; but not at 
all to P. evtctum of L. which Pursh has wrongly united with the former. Branches 
nearly naked, leaves very small, flowers two to five together on peduncles as long 
as them, green, tip rose coloured. This species will probably belongto the genus 
Polygoiiella of \Ix, Winch I have called Lyorwlla. It is nolvg'amous by the abor- 
tion Gf the etaruina.
