According to Lamarck, CavaNniLte’s genus DomBeya is 
not to be feparated from PENTAPETES. We have therefore 
retained the appellation given to this fhrub in the Hortus 
Kewenfis, though it is at prefent better known in our nurferies 
by that of Domsrya, a name applied by Lamarck to the 
Norfolk-Ifland Pine, in which he has been followed by Profeffors 
Scureser and Martyn, as alfo by Mr. LamBert, who has 
_ lately added figures of that beautiful tree to his {plendid Mono- 
graph on Pines. 
If this plant be feparated from Penrareres, and really 
elong to Domazyva of Cavanittes, it fhould be called 
| Assonia.
