CENTURIA II. 



101. AcMosTiMA R. (hook stig.) diff. Pavetta, 

 cal. camp. Sdent. cor. hypocrat. limbo 6fido, 

 stam, 5, antheris longis, stylo filif. stigma hama- 

 tum. caps. 2ioba 2sp — Quite distinct from the 

 G. Pavetta of Rheede adopted by L, but same 

 family, two types. 1^ 



102. Acm. longifolkim Raf. Pav. barbata Sm. 

 auct. — Fol. obi. glabris pedalis, fl. panic, dichot. 

 tubo Qorolla brevis intus barbato — Shrub of 

 Polynesia with flowers white very fragrant, 

 leaves one foot long, 2 inches wide. 



103. Acm. hrevifolia R. Pav. pentandra Sw. 

 auct — Fol, ellipt. acum, brevis, fl. panic. 3chot. 

 axil, tubo cor. longior imberbis — Shrub of An- 

 tilles called Wild Coffee, flowers as in last. If 

 the capsule is baccate, this with smooth tube 

 might form a G. or subg. Osmax, the real Pa- 

 vettas have a berry, corolla infund, 4fid, 4 sta- 

 mens &c. 



104. Rhamnus linnean Genus including many 

 trees and Shrubs totaly unlike, forming 20 Gen- 

 era at least. ZizypJius and " Paliurus have 

 been generaly adopted, but ¥rangula and Ala- 

 ternus of Tournefort and Adanson less so,while 

 the 8 Genera of Necker out of Rhamnus have 

 been neglected or not referred except Berche- 

 rifla. The whole requires yet a total revision 

 as to G. and Sp. which I can only attempt here 

 in part, proposing Genera. — The real Rham- 

 nus is dioical, has a 4fid calix, no petals, 4 sta- 

 mens, 1 style, stigma 4fid. and a berry bilocular 

 4sperme. The types are R. catharticus , in- 

 fectorius, dauricus. oleoides and other similar 



Species, the American R. catharticus is proba- 

 bly peculiar.
