not belong to that quarter of the globe. Linum angustifolium flore rubro 
singulart of the Natural History of Carolina was described and figured from 
a plant in Mr. Peter Collinson’s garden at Peckham, and being conceived in 
the recollection of Catesby to be the same with one he had seen in Ame- 
rica, was published by him in the above History as such. A sample of that 
lant from the same garden is also preserved in the Banksian Herbarium. 
any years” after, it was published by ourselves in Curtis’s Magazine 
(No. 872), under the title of L. pensylvanicum, upon this authority; but 
having subsequently detected the mistake, we corrected it in No. 1210 
(over-leaf) of the same work; where we republished the species by the 
name of L. dauricum, having ascertained its Siberian origin from native 
samples in the Lambertian Herbarium. This emendation however having 
been overlooked in the works of Messrs. Pursh and Nuttall, as well as in 
the Hortus Kewensis, it may not be useless to restate the whole correction. 
The species Catesby TSO it for was probably Linium Catesbei, if not 
philadelphicum.

Mr. Nuttall seems to have been puzzled in adopting the plant as Ameri- 
can; and suggests the possibility of its being a hybrid produced during cul- 
ture, because of its occasionally wanting the pistil in our gardens; an effect 
more probably of luxuriance, as the pistil is usually perfect with us and fre- 
quently fertile. The species is, in fact, very close to bulbiferum, but we 
believe it nevertheless to be truly distinct.
