genus between Spheralcea and Adutilon consisting of H. alata, 
(Sida alata, Watson), and H. Newberryi (Abutilon Newberryt, 
Watson.) Hibiscus lastocarpus, Cav., is the oldest name for H. 
incanus, Schrad. & Wendl., and H. grandiflorus, Michx. ; 
its variety occidentalis, n. var., is the H. Moscheutos, (?) var. occt- 
dentalis, Torrey. 
A new order, Cheiranthodendree contains the genera Che?- 
ranthodendron, Larreat, and Fremontia, Torrey. Three species 
of Zilia, T. Americana, L., T. pubescens, Ait. and its var. lepto- 
phylla, Vent., and T. heterophylla, Vent. are recognized, and Dr. 
Gray thinks that 7. Wexicana, Schlecht, is also a good species.

Im reviewing Dr. Gray’s treatment of this genus in Proc.
