This species is vulgarly called Feather-geranium. The 
whole plant is possessed of a strong, penetrating and not dis- 
agreeable odour. Occasionally found near the gutters of the 
streets of Southwark, where it has escaped from gardens. I 
have also met with it in the Northern Liberties and in Ger- 
mantown. Annual. July, August. 
5. C. leaves lanceolate, toothed ; racemes simple, ambrcsioides, 
leafy. — Sp. FI. 
One of the commonest weeds, every where to be found. It 
grows in large bushes together. This is the plant which Mr. 
Pursh has mistaken for C. anthelminticum, and which he says 
grows plentifully in the streets of Philadelphia. It has indeed 
a strong resemblance to the real C. anthelminticum, and was 
mistaken for that plant by the late Professor Barton. It pos- 
sesses a peculiar odour, but not so strongly pungent and dis- 
agreeable as that of the true anthelminticum. In the streets 
of Philadelphia very abundant. Annual. Ail summer. 
6. C. leaves oblong-lanceolate, sinuate and den- anthelmiiitf 
tate, rugose racemes naked style 1, S cleft. —

Jerusalem Oak. 
A plant very remarkable for its peculiar smell, which is 
strong, subtle and persistent. It is a powerful anthelmintic,
