This genus is intermediate between Vt-taurus and Eaonymus, but 

 more nearly related to the latter than the tbrmer. Dr. Aruott, 1 

 think, cuiisideis Wallieii s i^injinjutus graruiijlorus, another species of 

 this ^enus, an opinion in whtcli I cannot yet coincitie, liiough it 

 seems probaole W'ahich's plant luims the type of a j^^enus uisunct'
