PENTANDRIA HEXAGYNIA. 
Drosera. 
quinquefidus. quinque. unilocularis : 
apice tri-quinquevalvis. Semina plurima. (Styli etiam sex. 
Folia pilis glandulosis obsita). 
Drosera linearis ; scapis radicatis, simplicibus, foliis linearibus 
obtusis, petiolis longissimis nudis. 
Hah. Lake Simcoe, Upper Canada. FI. June. 
This species, at first sight, appears just to hold an interme- 
diate place between D. anglica and D. jiliformis.^ and is yet 
sufficiently distinct from both. The outer, or primordial leaves y 
are, as Pursh describes those of D.Jiliformis to be, destitute of 
glands, as also are the long petioles of the upper leaves. All 
the leaves are decidedly linear and obtuse, by no means spathu- 
late or lanceolate. Flowers few. Calyces glabrous. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
CEnothera. 
Calyx tubulosus, quadrifidus, laciniis defiexis deciduis. Pe- 
tala quatuor, calyce inserta. Stigma quadrifidum. Cay-

receptaculo central! tetragono affixa.

Hab. Island of Montreal. 
This plant, which I took at first sight to be the O. pumilay I 
find, upon examination, has the flowers thrice as long as that 
plant ; their diameter is an inch and a half, and the leaves are 
decidedly repando-dentate. The tube of the flowers, which is 
long and very slender, .and the germen, as well as the back of
