261. Lycii M I^. 4'C. This G. although very 

 akin to Ehretia, Cordia &c, has been put into 

 the SoLANiDEs tribe ! the main distinction was 

 the single stigma and more seeds in the berry, 

 and yet sp. with berries 1 or 2 loc. or a capsule ! 

 calix 3 to 10 dentate, cor. 4-lOfid, and 4 or 5 

 stamens are united. The 5 nameless sections 

 ofKunth must certainly be as many Genera, 

 and there are more blended. The real Lycium

 nearly to the first section of Kunth ; but he 

 wrongly blends thereto some sp. of Cestrum Sl 

 Atropa. The 2 next sp. have been omitted by 



nearly all Authors.
