CENT, I. 7 
shrab, apparently very distinct from CI. alni- 
folia, leaves quite narrow although as long. 
19, Cl. bracteata Raf. ramulis teretib. fulvo to- 
mentosis, fol. petiol. latoblongis, basi acutis, 
apice acum. ineq. serrulatis, subtus fulvescens 
granulatis, nervis tomentosis: racemis laxis, 
bracteis lanceolatis fl. longior, calicib. fulvis, 
toment. acutis—very peculiar sp. of Florida, 
leaves about 2 inches long and one wide, some 
bracts one inch long. t 
20, Cl. pumila Raf. repens, caulib. erectis bre- 
vis simpl. apice angul. pubens, fol. petiolis 
hirsutis. obovatis utrinque acutis, mucronato- 
serrulatis, glabris, nervis subtus hirsutis: ra- 
cemo brevis basi laxo, bracteis linear. ped. 
eq. calicib. obtusis furfuraceis—in South New 
Jersey, stem only 4 to 10 inches high with a 
singlé raceme and few small uncial leaves. If 
it is a var. of Cl. alnifolia, it isa singular de- 
viation. 
21; Ci. cordata Raf. ramulis angul. villosis, fol. 
ovatis, basi cordatis, apice. obtuse acum. sub- 
integris vix erosis glabris, subtus reticul. ner- 
vis puberis: racemis laxis ebracteatis, cano 
villosis, calicib. obtusis canis furfuraceis— 
sent me as the Cl, arborea, but totally un- 
like, by cordate leaves 3 or 4 inches long, 2 
broad, not serrate nor oblong, racemes not 
spiked with rather long pedicels. Probably 
African. + 
23, Dıconancia heterophyla Raf. Itea Virgin- 
ica L. &c. from New Jersey to Louisiana. I 
restore the excellent generic name of Mit- 
chell and Adanson, the bad one of Linneus 
being tooshort and meaning a Willow! Egive 
it a new specific name quite appropriate,since 
the same shrub has leaves ovate and obovate,
