nada and New York. 1/ . July, v ■ v. Flowers white, 
very numerous, collected in a regular panicle. Though 
I doubt of its being the G. horeale of Linnaeus, I 
found so many intermediate specimens in the collec- 
tion of A. B. Lambert, Esq., collected by Pallas in 
Russia, that I could draw no line of essential distinc- 
tion between them.
