The Symplocos limoncillo, placed by Bonpland in his section 



rax 



Babbebina. 



This genus, established by Velloz in 1825, was regarded by Prof. 

 A. DeCandolle, in 1844, as a mere section of Symplocos — a view 

 generally accepted. It has, however, ample claims to be main- 

 tained as a good genus, as the following diagnosis shows. 

 Babbebina, Velloz 1 . — Epigenia, in parte, Velloz*. — Symplocos 

 sectio, A. DC. 3 ; Miquel 4 loco infra citato ; Benth. &[ Hook. 6 . 

 Sympleura et Scyrtocarpa, nob. olim 6 .
