ICOSANDRIA, PENTAGYNIA. 
Wild Strawberry. 
Every body knows the fruit of this vegetable, which, taken 
from plants favourably situated, is little inferior to the common 
garden or cultivated strawberry. The plant is also as well 
known. Perennial. April, May.

The common garden or cultivated strawberry, is very often 
found in the fields of Jersey, in those west of the Delaware, 
and along hedges, apparently wild. It is becoming naturaliz- 
ed, at least in this vicinity. Perennial. April, May.

In Jersey, near this city; Mr. Nuttall. 
Under the genus Gyroinia, p. 175, add the following 
synonym : 
Medeola Virginica. 
On examination of the Muhlenbergian Herbarium, it ap- 
pears that Crypta minima of Nuttall, p. 17, is really the same 
plant as Peplis Americana, of Pursh — a large specimen of the 
plant under the latter name being in the herbarium. 
Cyperus uncinatus of Pursh, p. 19, is, I find by specimens in 
the Muhl. Herb, the Cyperus refiexus, of Muhl. Cat. 2d. ed., 
and C. fragrans, of ed. 1st. The plant is very odorous.
