 G. Pavetta of Rheede adopted by L. but same 

 family, two types.

 tilles called Wild Coffee, flowers as in last. If 

 the capsule is baccate, this with smooth tube

 vettas have a berry, corolla infund, 4fid, 4 sta- 

 mens &c. 



104. Rfiamnus linnean Genus including many 

 trees and Shrubs totaly unlike, forming 20 Gen- 

 era at least. Zizyplius and Paliiirus have 

 been generaly adopted, but Yrangula and Ala- 

 ternus of Tournefort and Adanson less so,while 

 the 8 Genera of Necker out of Rhamnus have 

 been neglected or not referred except Berche- 

 mia. The whole requires yet a total revision 

 as to G, and Sp. which I can only attempt here 

 in part, proposing Genera. The real Rham- 

 nus is dioical, has a 4fid calix, no petals, 4 sta- 

 mens, 1 style, stigma 4fid. and a berry bilocular 

 4sperme. The types are R. catharticus^ in- 

 fectorius, dauricus, oleoides and other similar 



Species, the American i?. catharHcus is proba- 

 bly peculiar.
