This fhrub is known in our nurferies hy the name of 

 Hirjea redinata^ but does not at all correfpond with the 

 character of that plant in Jacquin's Ht'ftoria Stirpium Ameri- 

 canarum. Indeed, the above defcription will determine it to 

 be a real fpecies of Malpighia, as far as can be done without 

 the fruit ; perhaps it may be Malpighia dipbilla of J acq u in, 

 but his defcription is too fhort to determine. Is a native of 

 the Weft-Indies, requiring the heat of a ftove.
