Marsh Euryspemium. This is a taller shrub than either of the two last, discovered by Mr. J. NiVEN, in moist ground near Rovde Xand Cascfrde, lOand IS feet high. He sent its seeds with the nsefid name liere adopted, and by treating the plants as that suggeste<l, they flow- cied abundantly at Clapham.
