672 SUPPLEMENT.— HYPERICACE^. 



synonymy of his A. Crax-Andreee and A. hypericoides was greatly confused. The 

 name Crux {Sancti) Andrea, commenced with Banister {cat. stirp. Virg.), which 

 is referred to Hypericum pumilum sempervirens &c. Pluk. mant. p. 104; — the 

 plant of Plukenet proves to he A. stuns, Michx. (fide herb. Pluk. I) Here Lin- 

 naeus obtained the name Crux-Andrea, but he does not adduce that plant of Pluk- 

 enet to his A. Crux-Andreffi, but establishes it wholly upon " Hypericoides ex terra 

 Mariana, floribus exiguis luteis,' Pluk. mant. ; which plant proves on inspection 

 to be Hypericum mutilum ! Linnaeus founded his A. hypericoides upon A. foliis 

 ovalis, Hort. Cliff, (of which no specimen is preserved in herb. hort. Cliff.) a.nd 

 of Gronov. Virg. (which is A. Crux-Andreae of this work and of American 

 authors); Hypericoides frutescens erecta &,c. Plumier, gen. p. 51, (a West 

 Indian plant) ; and to these is added, Hypericum pumilum sempervirens &c. Pluk. 

 I. c. (which is A. stans, Michx. as we have stated above.) Thus far the first edi- 

 ion of tho species Plantarum. In the second edition the chiiracter of A. Crux." 

 Andres is changed, and the .synonyms of Hort. Cliff, and Gronov. Virg. are trans- 

 ferred from A. hypericoides to this species; so that the A. Crux-Andrese, Linn, 

 spec. ed. 2, may be said to be our plant of that name, and should therefore doubtless 

 be retained, notwithstanding the earlier confusion. The A. hypericoides is like- 

 wise modified, the syn. of Gronovius &c. excluded, and a Jamaica plant of Browne 

 introduced, so that this species may be said to rest chiefly on the West Indian plant ; 

 which being probably different from ours, the name, A. stans, Michx. ! should 

 be continued for our plant.
