Cr. elliptiea Ait.—=Cr. glandulosa Mehx. nach 
Torr. et Gray 1. c. p. 469, dem ich beistimme, da sie nur 
abweichen in Fol. elliptieis und in Fol. subrotundis (wohl 
nur sehr schwach Wg.) subpubescentibus, aber ich halte 
Cr. elliptica Ait. ebenso Mesp. Caroliniana Poiret 
für eine Varietät von M. flava, wie var. pubes- 
cens A. Gray=C.virginica Loudon, Also drei Va- 
rietäten von M. flava.
