the branches reddish, surviving the winter, and forming 
a shrub about 3 feet high. 4. micropiyllus, Stem rigid 
and much branched, leaves fasciculated, smooth and

the genus. Leaves and stems not much exceeding those

The genus Ceanothus appears peculiar to America; of 
which there are 5 other species besides the above; viz: 
1 in New-Spain, 2 in Peru, 1 in the mountains of Jamai- 
ca, and another species of uncertain locality. The C. 
asiaticus, C. ighy cactye of India and C. africanus do 
not appear to belong to this genus, and C. capsularis 
of the isle of Tahiti in the Pacific, seems to be a Poma-
