it is a climber ; the leaves are broad, which, with 
the whole plant, are hoary ; the flowers are very 
imall, and of a greenifh white. Here grows alfo in 
abundance a beautiful fpecies of Delphinium ; the 
flowers differ in no refpedl from thofe of the com- 
mon branching Larkfpur of the gardens ; they are 
of a fine deep blue colour, and difpofed in long 
fparfed fpikes ; the leaves are compound, almoft 
linear, but the legments not fo flne cut as thofe of 
the garden Larkfpur.

Cameron. In the courfe of this day’s journey I 
crofled feveral rivers and brooks, all branches of the 
Savanna, now called Keowe, above its confluence

their fummits and at the banks of rivers and creeks, 
but very fertile, as there is a good depth of a loofe
