Resembles No, 1, but easily distinguished from it by its pale 
! greenish-yellow flowers, and small thick leaves. In the woods 
of Jersey, every where common, growing with No. 1, and 
No. 2. This species I first described in my Prodromus un- 
der the specific na-ine convoluta. I have however thought 
best to assume the specific appellation given to the same 
plant by Swartz, who has found it m the woods of Sweden. I 
I had not seen the Stockholm Transactions, at the time I pub- 
lished the Prodromus, else I should have availed myself of the 
better name chlorantha, from the colour of the flowers. Peren- 
nial. June, July.

An elegant evergreen plant, about eight inches high. Flowers 
fragrant, greenish-white, delicately tinged with rose-colour 
at the inside of the petals. Stigma green, viscid— anthers 
purple. Leaves a deep shining green. It is well known under 
the name of Pippsuseiva^ and is brought to our markets in 
abundance for sale. It is in much repute as a medicine, and is 
powerfully diuretic. (See Veg. Mat. Med. U. S.) In the woods 
of Jersey, in great profusion; and in woods west of the Dela- 
ware, also common. Perennial. July.
