Eutoca, deduced from eutokos, fruitful. Wran- 
gel is a celebrated name in Sweden; and Baron 
Wrangel, in honour of whom the plant was named 
by Fischer, of the Imperial Gardens of St. Peters- 
burg, is employed by the Russian government, 
and has explored some of the most northern parts 
of western Russia. 
This newly-discovered annual was first intro- 
duced to the Botanic Garden of St. Petersburg by 
seeds, collected in the Russian colony of Ross, in 
New California, on the north-west coast of North 
America. By M. de Fischer seeds were trans- 
mitted to this country. Thus stands forth one of 
the blessings of peace. Nation communicates with 
nation; the produce of all regions of the earth, 
with increasing knowledge and benevolence, spread 
from man to man, and progress is made towards 
the inhabitants of all regions becoming as the 
members of one family. 
It is desirable that the young plants of Eutoca 
Wrangeliana be raised in a hot-bed, and trans- 
planted into the borders, in May, where they will 
require no further care than other annuals.
