    AN EXPERIMENTAL DISSERTATION, 6fc. GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION. THE plants which are the subject of the following experiments and observations, belong to the Genus Kalmia: of this Genus there are cer- tainly four species; the Kalmia latifolia and K. angustifolia of Linnaeus; the K. glanca of Aiton, and the K. hirsuta of Walter. * The two former species are common in Penn- sylvania, New-Jersey, and are frequently to be met with in New-York; but Mr. Kalm asserts that neither are to be met with beyond the forty- second degree of North latitude. This, however, is not the case. The Kalmia angustifolia, at least, is found considerably to the North of this latitude. With respect to the Kalmia glauca and K. hir- suta, these inhabit very different tracts of country. * Kalmia ciliata of Bartram. 3
