The leaves of this species growing in distant pairs re- 
gularly crosswise, we think the name of decussata was more 
characteristic than that of acuminata. It is nearly related 
to Putox Carolina. 
Native of Georgia, and South-Carolina. Rather more 
tender than-many other species. Flowers in August and 
September. Introduced by the late Mr. Lyons, in 1812. 
Communicated by Mr. Wittaam Kent, of Clapton, in Sep- 
tember 1815,
