This is the plant described and figured by Ketemplar in

his Amoenitates Exoticae , whose fidelity has never been im- peached, and whose account of the species yielding that valvable drug is to be considered as at least equalty admissible With any other. The plant xaised by Dr. Hope, of Edilaburgh, Dom seeds sent to Dr. Guthrie, of St. Peters- burg, hom the mountains of Ghian, in Persia, is certainlydisserent, and noW bears the nanae of Perula Persica milia denom, Sp. Plant. ; but both one and the other may be sup- posed to yield a similar juice, and the disi erence of the species is not to be Wondered at, as the Porula Assafoetidagrows in the fouili os Persia, and the Persica in the noriti.

The naine of Oh H Ot, by Whicli this article has hitherio been known in our silops, seems to have had iis origin in the supposition that the root Was brought to us stom Odylon; a supposition apparently strengthened by the similarity in sound of the Portuguese appellation os Calumba to the name of thel principat tom of that istand. It being a staple expori Withthe Portiaguese, the place of groWth Was carnilly con aled, i and the plant itself Was unknown to bolanista, untii very lately, when it was raised at Madras Dom a root brought to Dr. James Anderson, of that place, Dom MoZambique. From at dra ving in the possession of the Linnaean Society, the planti appears to be of the natural order of Monospermum, but thel genus cannot be determined, in consequence of the feni leflowers not having been as yet Seen.
