Vitis bipinnata and V. incisa, well known in the southwestern parts of 
■ the United States and Texas, were also found here. Remarkable herba¬ 
ceous plants were a Nicotiana , an Orobanche (on the seacoast,) an Eusto - 
ma , several Asclepiadaceae, Malvaceae , Cucurbitaceae, Labiatae y and 
others. Lobelia phyllostachy a has already been mentioned above. (See 
note 41.) 
Hasty and imperfect as this notice of the collections of Dr. Wislizenus 
is, it cannot but impress the botanist with the richness and novelty of the 
flora of these countries, and invite the arduous explorer to further ex¬ 
ertions. 
GEORGE ENGELMANN, M. D. 
' St. Louis, December , 1847. 
Upon the authority of Professor John Torrey, of New York, who has 
done me the favor to look over the botanical manuscript of Dr. Engel- 
mann before its going to press, I add here the following two corrections : 
Larrea glutinosa (n. sp., No. 10) seems to be Larrea Mexicana of 
Moricaud, described and figured in a work to which Dr. E. had not 
access. 
Geranium penlagynum (n. sp., No. 6) seems to be Geranium Fremontii 
(Torr.) of Fremont’s second report.
