This is an European, native of Switzerland and Germany; and, 
though the flrudture of its Cup compels us to rank it among the 
Golden Rods, its habit v/ould refer it to another Genus ; it is the 
Link by which Nature has connecRed Golden Rods and the radiated 
Groundfells. The Plant is two feet high. The Stalk is often deeply 
tinged with red : the Leaves are of a feint green on the upper fide, 
and they are white and downy underneath : the Flowers are very 
large, and of a delicate yellow ; and they crown the Stalk in con- 
fid erable clufiers.
