3S8 Mr Goldie’s Description of some new and ^'are Plants 
Sterna numerous, about six inches long, branching from be- 
low in a dichotomous manner, very hairy, hairs deflexed. Leaves 
an inch long, rigid, pubescent. Calyx-leaves ovato-lanceolate, 
hairy, with the hairs erect, the margins white and scariose. 
In habit it comes nearer C. arvense than any species I am ac- 
quainted with. In some respects it accords with Pursh’s C. te- 
nufolium^ and it quite agrees with a plant in Dr Hooker’s her- 
barium, found in 1816 by Francis Boott, Esq. on the hill be- 
hind Billows Falls, New Hampshire, who therefore has the cre- 
dit of having first discovered this new species of Cerastium. 
BODECANDRIA trigynia. 
Euphokbia. 
Calyx monophyllus, ventricosus. Corolla tetra- vel quinqiie 
petala calyce insidens. Capsula tricocca. (Plantae lacte- 
scentes. Stamina diverse tempore assurgentia.) 
Euphorbia umbella quinquefida, trifida, bifida, involu- 
cris ovatis, petalis integris, foliis lanceolatis subpilosis apice

E. pilosa, Pursh, FI. Amer. Sept. v. ii. p. 607. 
This, which Mr Pursh gives only as an inhabitant of Mary- 
land and Virginia, I found in Canada about Montreal. 
ICOSANDRIA POLYGYNlA'. 
Dryas. 
Calyx simplex, octofidus. Petala octo. Semina caiidata, pi- 
losa. 
Dryas integr folia ; foliis integerrimis. 
D. integrfolia^ FI. Dan. t. 1216. 
D. tenella, Pursh, FI. Amer. Sept. v. i. p. 850. 
Hah, Anticosti, Pursh. 
The individual now under consideration is unquestionably the 
D. integrfolia of the Flora Danica, which was first found in 
Greenland, and afterwards was only known to grow in one spot 
in America^ viz. the White Hills in New Hampshire, until Mr 
Pursh observed it in the station above given.
