371. Clpamenis Raf. non Ad. (n. ind.) difF. 

 Croton, cal. dfidus, petalis nuliis, stam. piuris, 

 cal. fern. 8fido, stylis 3 — this includes probably 

 several plants at least 3 the Cr. chamedrif. Lam* 

 Acatypha indica Z/, Ac. reptans W. blended 

 by L. Smith and others. The' Cupameni of 

 Adanson was Acalypha L. — Thus we have seen 

 that a crowd of G. were blended in Croton, and 

 that even sp. of Aleurites, Stillingia, Acalypha 

 ^c. were shuffled among them. Such was the 

 accurate discrimination once called perfection 

 of Botany ! 



372. Leptemon Raf. 1808, Crotonopsis Mx. 

 W. P. &c. This G. was separated from Cro- 

 ton, altho' it differs no more than the above! 



but the name given was absurd and incorrect. 

 difF. Croton, 5 free stamens, fern. fl. apetalous, 

 12 stigmas, capsule monosperm, by abortion 

 probably. Type l^ept. lineare Raf. 



373. Berberis L. a natural G. if Odostemori 

 be excluded, yet greatly enlarged having 30 sp. 

 in Decandole, and there are more, some of which 

 I have seen alive or possess dry ; therefore give 

 them here, all prickly shrubs with fasciculate 

 kaves. 



374. Berberi^ purpurea Raf. vulg. var. auct. 

 B, inominata Kielm, — Ramis angul. spinosis, 

 fol. cuneatis vix ciliatis, fr. ellipt. purpureis 

 acidis — Mts. of Europe, near to B. vulgaris with 

 white or yellow fruits, leavSs obovate ciliate ser- 

 rate, racemes drooping &c. 



375. Berheris nigra Raf. vulg. var. auct. B. 

 orientalis &c Tourn, — Arborea. ramis ang. spin, 

 fol. oblongis vix serratis? fr. ellipt. nigris suavis 

 Turkey, small tree.
