          
78. Clematis recta. D.             Clematis recta. Upright virgin's bower.
Like the preceding, this plant is unknown in the United States.
The engraving and description are coppied [copied] from Woodville with 
less art than usual. Whether, under this name, our botanist 
really employed an American plant, we think very doubtful.
79. Verbena officinalis. D.     Verbena officinalis. Vervian, or Vervain.
There may be some reason to doubt whether this plant is a 
native of the United States. It is said, however, to have been 
found in Maryland. At all events, we think we have sufficient 
evidence to suspect that Mr. Henry has never seen it.
80. Nymphaea alba. C.           Nymphe alba aquatica. White pond lily.
We cannot tell either by the description or engraving, what 
white pond lilly [lily] this must be with yellow flowers. Certainly not 
the plant named. 
81. Sisymbrium nasturtium. D.    Sisymbrium nasturtium. Water cresses. 
As Sisymbrium nasturtium is not known to be a native 
Mr. Henry may have arranged under that name the Cardamine 
Pennsylvanica [Cardamine pensylvanica], Arabis bulbosa, or some other tetradynamous 
plant, it is impossible to know which, for the engraving
is coppied [copied] from Woodville. 
82. Valeriana officinalis. D.            Valeriana sylvestris. Wild valerian.
Valeriana officinalis is certainly not a native, nor do we 
know that it has been cultivated in the U. [United] States. Mr. Henry derives 
every idea of it from Woodville; and although he does 
not as in most cases, inform us where it is to be found, every 
reader, as ignorant as himself, or perhaps many who 
are much more intelligent, would infer that it was native. 
We have no doubt he would furnish a patient with a
dose of the powdered root, or even an extract from the 
bark of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which he 
could readily find in Kentucky along with the Laurus nobilis! 
83. Aconitum napellus. A.              Aconitum Napellus. Wolf's bane, 
or monks hood.
Although this exotic maybe seen in some of the gardens, it 
does not appear that Henry in making out his engraving and 
description, thought it necessary to look at it, while his ever
convenient friend Woodville was present. 
84. Artemisia absinthium. A.        Artemisia absinthium. Worm wood.
85. Oxalis acetosella. C.                  Oxalis Acetosella. Wood sorrel
Although this species of Oxalis which is a native of Europe, is 
now said to inhabit Canada and some of the northern states, Mr.
Henry has not troubled himself to look for it in its native 
wilds, but taken his description from that friendly volume, which 
we have often had occasion to mention. It is most likely that he 
employs a different species.
