A correspondent from near Jefferson City sends us a specimen for name, which proves to be this plant, Bumelia lycoides of botanists. It has not been found by collectors north of this line we believe. It is a very pretty small tree, and deserves culture. There was one for many years in the Bartram Gardens near Philadelphia.

An interesting fact mentioned by our correspondent is, that it grows on limestone rocks where there is scarcely any soil. Other collectors have always reported it as growing in low or wet places we believe.
