Drummcnd! ; Kentucky. Dr. Short! I have specimens of 
this plant collected near Havanna by my friend, B. D. Greene. 
Esq. Among the plants collected by Dr. Baldwin in the 
Southern States, is a v^ariety of C. erythrorhizos with the umbel 
decompound, and with the secondary rays shorter than their 
foliaceous involucels.

LiPOCARPHA, R. Brown, pp. 283 & 243. This genus, 
I find, was first proposed in Captain Tuckey's Expedition 
to Congo ; Appendix, p. 459, (1818). The Hypolytrum 
of Richard, which was first published in Persoon's Synop. 
1. p. 70, (1805) included three species, two of which be- 
long to Brown's Lipocarpha, and one to his Hypcelyptum. 
Vahl*, who adopted the genus from Richards' Herbarium, 
but transcribed the name incorrectly, likewise constructed his 
character so as to include both genera, but nearly all his 
species belong to Lipocarpha as defined by Brown ; so that 
I am still of the opinion that the name Hypolytrum should 
have been retained for the present Lipocarpha, and another 
name provided for the species now referred to Hypolytrum. 
Indeed this view of the subject appear to have been taken by 
the late P. de Beauvois, as appear from the Essai sur la Earn, 
des Cyper. of Lestiboudois (1819) ; for the Beera of P. de B. 
must be identical with the modern Hypolytrum, while Hypolj- 
trum of P. de B. is Brown's Lipocarpha. Still I have fol-
