the publication of that gentleman’s Tour across the 
Continent of America to the Pacific Ocean. In 1812, 
Mr. Nuttall, on his return from a journey in those 
parts, brought seeds and specimens of this and another 
species to London ; and having by those means the 
living plants, I agreed with Mr. Nuttall to dedicate 
it to the memory of Dr. B. S. Barton, of Philadel- 
phia, our mutual friend ; under which name it was 
published in the Botanical Magazine. Since that pub- 
lication, Mr. Nuttall, whose name has occurred in se- 
veral pages of this work, with all the credit due to his 
valuable discoveries, has found himself rather offend- 
ed at not having given him all the exclusive credit 
of discovery, which with justice and propriety to the 
memory of M. Lewis, Esq. I never could do.

are not so glaucous as the foregoing : in every other 
respect the above description is applicable to the pre-

Tj . July, Aug. v. v. This climbing shrub resem- 
bles the first species, but grows taller, and is in every

pany of Zizyphus volubilis, the tallest cypress trees 
in those swamps.
