3-5sp. sem. osseis. Arhoreis spinosis,fol. pet, 

 alt. integris jl. fascic. pedunc. — Two types 

 shuffled into Sideroxylum and Bumelia, but of 

 another fa.mily the Sapotides by stamens not iso- 

 petal.

 drum L. W. P. &c — fol. ellipt. planis, spinis 



axil, validis — small tree,berries black, N. Amer. 

 South New Jersey, discovered by Kalm, seen 

 by few Botanists, by myself without flowers, for 

 additions to the real G. Bumelia see my New 

 Flora 545 to 548 where I described 4 new Sp. 

 Bum. undtdata,arachnoidea, denticulata, ser- 

 rtdata. 



167. Decateles lycioides Raf. Siderox. and 

 Bumelia do auct. fol. lanceol. obtusis undulatis, 

 spinis axil, brevis — small tree 8 to 15 feet, not 

 in Canada as stated by L. from Carolina and

 blended and intermixt.

 disperma (non drupa 5sp.) — Type X. tomenlo- 

 sa R. Sider. do Roxb. cor. t. 28. W. &c. yellow 

 berries size of cherries, thornless tree of Coro- 

 mandel. 



169. ILEXIDES Raf. the G. Cordia L. 

 although yet put among the Borragines even 

 by Kunth, is auite akin to those above and the 



Myrsinites, differing merely by stamens al- 

 ternate to corolla, w hile the styles and fruits are 

 as in the Rhamnides, it is therefore the type 

 with Eex Slq, of my nat. fam. Ilexides 1815, 

 quite distinct from Borragines by berries or 

 drupes for fruit instead of several akenas as in 

 Labiates, it differs therefore from them as the 

 Verbenides from the Labiates. The akin cap- 

 sular Genera are also my N. fara. Dichojvdra-
