56 NEW SYLVA, 



ton in 1800 at the falls of the Potowmak, where 

 found by me again, stems 1 or 2 feet high sel- 

 dom branched, leaves as large as in C. glome- 

 ratus, peduncles,and flowers similar to it,butnot 

 glomerate quite lax. 



611. Cean. ELLiPTicus Raf Shrubby, leaves 

 remote elUptical hardly serrulate trinerve ob- 

 tuse, beneath puberulent, raceme thyrsoidal 

 small on short petiols and bracteated — Apala- 

 chian Mts. of Georgia and Alabama, Cheroki 

 and Wasioto Mts. one or two feet high, leaves 

 small on very short petiols, flowers small with 

 bracts as in C. glomeratus. 



612. Cean. virgatus Raf. intermedius Mg. 

 El. P. N. Shrubby, branches elongate slender 

 virgate subangular smooth rusty, leaves broadly 

 lanceolate acute subserrate trinerve, nerves and 

 petiols pubescent, racemes short corymbose lax 

 — from Virginia to Florida, pedal or sesquipe- 

 dal, with some long branches at the base, leaves 

 small uncial narrow, panicles quite small on 

 long peduncles, formed by two or 3 small um- 

 bels. 



613. CeANOTHUS ? ATROPURPUREUS Raf. 



Shrubby, quite smooth, branches terete spread- 

 ing rigid dark purple, leaves subsessile oblong 

 entire, lower acute, upper obtuse, not trinervate, 

 tip of petiol and base of main nerve often bear- 

 ded — I refer protem to this Genus, a doubtful 

 shrub of Florida, found without flowers in Col- 

 lins Herb, owing to the similarities of habit 

 with the last and next sp. but it may turn out to 

 be something very different, perhaps an Ilex ? 

 or Bumelia ? Leaves just like the last in size, 

 but entire or slightly erose, and petiols exceed- 

 ingly short.
