remarkable that few Botanists notice the very large marginal flowers of this corymb, which are remarkably
radiant. De Candolle places the plant in a division of the Genus “ Corymbi non radiantes.”

H ab. Lake Winipeg. Dr. Richardson. Drummond.—I quite agree with Dr. Torrey that this is a
distinct species from V. dentatum, distinguishable by its downy sharp leaves, and very short petioles.

H ab. Common on the branches of the Columbia, near its confluence with the Pacific. Douglas.—A
small shrub from two to four feet high, with glabrous, pale brown bark. Leaves about two inches long,
very hairy beneath, having from three to five principal nerves springing from the base. In most of the
specimens the germens are clothed with long hairs ; in one, quite glabrous. Berm es deep black, large.

this really distinct from the preceding? It appears to differ in no particular, except the broader base of the
leaves. The fruit is edible in both. That of V. Oxycoccos is said by Dr. Torrey to be sometimes employed
as a substitute for «Cranberries.
