The OuscutcB, both of the old and the new world, are in a sadly confused state. The present species
is probably frequently called by the American authors C. Americana. Of this, I am certain, that it is the
C. umbrosa of Beyrich (whose name I therefore adopt), and the C. Americana of Dr. Griswold: but whether
it is the Linnsean plant of that name, I have no means of ascertaining. Mr. Drummond’s specimens are
too imperfect for determination. The flowers of the present species are larger than either of our two British
ones.

* The characters, with remarks on the genera and species of this and the following order (Boragineoe), have been
kindly drawn up for this work by Dç. Lehmann. I have only added a few species which have since been received by
me from British N. America, and made a few alterations suggested by Mr. Bentham’s valuable paper on the first of
these two orders, lately published in the Linnæan Transactions.

leaves. [Ä]
