This eenus is referred by most Botanists to Myriacece \ Barring- 

 ionifice^ l>ut no character by which the sub-order may be distinguish- 

 ed is assigm d, except its alternate leaves without semi-transparent 

 dots, Mr. W. Griflith in a letter-, hints, I think, (I have not now the 

 letter at hand tf> ascertain) that both this and -Sonnfjfaifa are more 

 prop::M*ly referable to Lyihrari-:^. I am not sure about the latter but 

 1 think that the remark-ihls- confo'-mation of the seed affords suffi- 

 cient reason for removing both this and Barring tonia, from both 

 Myriace^ and Lijihrariw^ to form a distinct order approaching Gut^ 

 iifer<x in the character of their seed.
