3S2 Mr Goldie’s Description of some new and, rare Plants 
segments, short. Pistil oblong, with two short styles. Plant 
turning almost black when dried. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Lithospermum. 
Corolla infundibuliformis, fauce perforata, nuda. Calyx quin- 
quepartitus. Semina ossea, nitida. 
Lithospermum Unearrfolium ; fruticosum, foliis linearibus ap- 
pressis pubescentibus, floribus lateralibus terminalibusque, 
nucibus impresso-punctatis, caulibus erectis. 
Hab. Only on the sandy-beach at the head of Lake On- 
tario, in July, and without flowers. 
The L, angustfolium of Michaux agrees in some points with 
this plant, especially in the pericarp ; yet as he describes it as 
procumbent, and Pursh pronounces it annual, and adds, that 
woods are the places of its growth, so I should think there 
could be no doubt as to the specific difference of the two indi- 
viduals. 
Primula. 
Calyx quinquedentatus. Corolla hypocrateriformis, tubo cv- 
lindraceo, ore aperto. Capsula unilocularis, decemfidus. 
Primula pusilla; foliis obovato-spathulatis repando-dentatis, 
subtus scapoque farinosis, umbella pauciflora, corollae tubo 
calyce vix longiore, laciniis obcordatis obtusis, PI. XI. f. 2. % 
Hab. Near Quebec. 
This is a minute and delicate species ; its whole height, in- 
cluding the scape, not exceeding two or three inches. Flowers 
very pale purple, almost white. From P. mistassinica it differs 
by its very much smaller dimensions, shorter capsules, and par- 
ticularly its flowers, of which the calyx is oblong, and almost 
equal to the tube of the corolla in length. The divisions of the 
corolla are considerably broader and mere obtuse, more resem- 
bling those of P. farinosa^ or even of P. scotica, from which 
two species again, the form of its leaves keeps the P. pusilla 
distinct. 
Of this species I have living plants at Ayr. Others I sent 
to Edinburgh ; and from two which flowered last summer in the 
garden of P. Neill, Esq. Canonmills, tlie accompanying draw-
