reniform: cotyledons large and fleshy: radicle supe- 
rior, short, (not long, as stated by Kunth,) bent sud- 
denly downwards and closely applied to the edge of the 
cotyledons. Both Schinus Huygan and S. Molle of Mo- 
lina (not Linn.) probably belong to some of the varieties. 
(1.) Schinus ¢erebinthifolius, Linn.—Missions of Brazil, 
Baird. 
(2.) Schinus? ternifolius (Gill. mst); arborescens, foliis 
ternatis longe petiolatis lanceolatis integerrimis coriaceis 
glabris supra nitidis parallelim venosis.—El Aguadita 
(Prov. of San Luis), Dr. Gillies.—Nom. vernac. Molle 
dulce.—^As this is destitute of flower and fruit, we are 
doubtful of its genus: but no Rhus having been found 
in South America, we think it safer to refer it to 
Schinus.

(N. 828.)— Although we have seen no flowers, and only 
the young fruit of this plant, yet, on a comparison of the 
latter, and of the foliage, with those of E. microphylla, 
we can hardly doubt of their identity. This is called 
* Guayacan," according to Bertero, and, as he says, it 
differs from. the Mayu (Sophora macrocarpa) of Chili, in 
the shape of the leaves, and the stem being of consider- 
able size (12-20 feet high), while that. of the last is a 
shrub. We may add that the fruit is hice:
