On the borders of lakes on the highest part of the Blue 
mountains: New York and Pensylvania. T? . July, 
Aug. v. v. Flowers white with a red border, and a 
tinge of red on the tube, which makes them appear 
to be of a rose-colour before open. They have fre-

blueish appearance, by which it may be distinguished 
from all others at a great distance.

no other distinction between both, than that of the
