In hedges and woods : Carolina to Florida. Tj . June, 

 .July. V. V. Flowers very small, greenish-white j 

 berries red. I venture to take C'tsmmpelos sndlnvma 

 as a synonym, although Jacquin's figure deviates in 

 character very much Irom the present genus ; but as 

 I have had the opportunity of seeing the Menispervium 

 of the above authors frequently in flower, I am con- 

 vinced that ail the above synonyma are correct : the 

 number of stamina being variable, brings the ge- 

 nus so near to ik?eKW/3erw7m?, that I should not have 

 taken it from it, if it were not on the authority of 

 AVilldenow.
